Maria through to Beijing quarters

Maria was in command right from the start, winning her first two service games at love and breaking Panova's service just 10 minutes in. Maria wrapped up the first set in less than 20 minutes.



Here is what Maria said after her win: "I think that the fast court sort of suited my game better. I just had to go out and play my game, and that's what I did."



In the quarters Maria will play the winner of the Jelena Jankovic/Vera Douchevina match.
