The No 1 seed at the Nottingham Open, Maria Sakkari, survived a huge scare on a rain-delayed day to advance to the quarter-finals. She beat Canada's Rebeca Marino to set up a last-eight clash with Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia.
It was a nightmare first set for the Greek star who held serve just once. A combination of loose errors and some inspired play from her Canadian opponent saw her loose her first service game to go 2-0 down.
Things got progressively worse for the world No 5 who sent a backhand into the net to go 5-1 down before Marino served it out to take the opening set 6-1.
