Vinci became the second seed defeated by Peng after the fourth- seeded Agnieszka Radwanska.

Peng would next face the winner between Lucie Safarova and Alize Cornet, both seeded players.

Peng, the only Chinese player left in the women's singles, saved three break points to win the first set 6-4. Vinci did a better job in slicing the ball in the second set, but Peng managed to break again to close the match 6-3.
