NEW HAVEN, Conn. Oscar Dansk Golden Knights Jersey . -- Defending champion Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic advanced to the semifinals of the New Haven Open, beating Russias Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 2-6, 6-2, 7-5 on Thursday. Romanias Simona Halep also advanced, topping Russias Ekaterina Makarova 6-1, 7-6 (6). Rain delayed the start of play in both matches by more than an hour and a half, and each included hour-long rain delays during play. It was the third three-set match of the tournament for Kvitova, who leads the WTA Tours top 100 players with 29 this season. She improved to 18-11 in those contests. Pavlyuchenkova started strong, breaking Kvitova in the first game of the match and three times in the first set. But the former Wimbledon champion bounced back as she has throughout the tournament. She broke serve four times in the second set, and twice in the third. "I know Im playing a lot of three set matches, thats why I probably know if I lose the first set, still I can go to the third," Kvitova said. "I dont feel like without energy in the third set, so thats good sign, too." Pavlyuchenkova was able to save one match point in the 10th game, but double-faulted on the second. Halep and Makarova were forced to the grandstand court by the rain. Fewer than 20 fans watched as Halep jumped out early, taking the first 6-1 while breaking Makarovas serve four times. The second rain delay came with the players tied at 1-1 in the second, and when play resumed Makarova made a run, winning the next two games. "I was a little bit nervous after (the rain)," Halep said. "I played really slow after. But I came back from 4-2 again and I did well." The Romanian broke serve in the eighth game, and won the tiebreaker 8-6. She is looking for her fourth tournament title this summer and said she likes where her game is heading into next weeks U.S. Open. "Im a bit tired right now," she said. "But I want to play tomorrow, to try my best. After that I will see what will happen." This is the first quarterfinal in the tournaments history that didnt include either of the top two seeds. Sara Errani and Angelique Kerber both lost earlier in the week in the second round. Kvitova, Wozniacki and Stephens were the only seeded players to make it past round two. Halep will play the winner of Thursday nights marquee quarterfinal match between four-time New Haven champion Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark and rising American star Sloane Stephens. Kvitova will face Russias Elena Vesnina or the Czech Republics Klara Zakopalova. The players got a little excitement before play began Thursday. A fire alarm, caused by smoke from someone cooking in the players lounge, forced the evacuation of the Connecticut Tennis Center for about 15 minutes. "It was OK, when we were waiting for the match, some fun," Kvitova said. "I wasnt cooking, so thats good."
