Sania Mirza has moved into the last eight of the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford.

The Indian, who is ranked 35th, beat 19th ranked Tatiana Golovin of France 6-4, 6-1 in the second round match that lasted about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

The Hyderabad hurricane broke Golovin six times as she blew away a much higher-ranked player. Mirza will now play Swiss Patty Schnyder, who beat Yaroslava Shvedova of Russia 7-5, 6-2.

Belorussian qualifier Olga Govortsova also reached her first WTA Tour quarterfinals when she upset fifth-seeded Shahar Peer 4-6, 7-5, 6-2.

The 18-year-old Govortsova, at a career-high 100th ranking, got away with making seven double faults in beating Peer, ranked 18th.
