Svetlana Kuznetsova 2011

The longest names continue to outshine the biggest in Sydney. On Wednesday, Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova and Serbia's Bojana Jovanovski continued their runs through the Medibank International with quarterfinal victories.

Kuznetsova defeated her second straight seeded player, edging No. 8 Na Li 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 just one round after upsetting No. 4 seed Samantha Stosur. Kuznetsova is in her first semifinal since Montreal last August, and is looking for her first victory since San Diego.

Jovanovski, a qualifier for the event, took down Flavia Pennetta 7-5, 7-5, just one day after Pennetta upset No. 2 Vera Zvonareva. Jovanovski, ranked 77th entering the tournament, is in her first ATP tour semifinal. She has never won a tour title. She'll gain at least 200 points by reaching this level, which would send her to a new career-high ranking.
