On Wednesday, while trailing 6-2 4-3 to Lisa-Maria Moser, ranked 725th, in the Gastein Ladies' second round, Germany's top-seeded Mona Barthel pulled out with an injury of shoulder.

It has been found that Moser broke two times, while she was playing in the first WTA event of hers, to take the opening set. It was when Barthel, ranked 31st, withdrew that the Austrian wildcard turned out to a break up in the second.

The report finds that Barthel was seeking to reach the season's fourth quarter-final as well as the first ever since she won in Paris in February. However, she won the top seeding following pulling out of a shoulder injury by France's defending champion Alize Cornet as well.

Andrea Hlavackova of Czech Republic is to be played by Moser in the quarter-finals. Hlavackova had rallied to defeat Switzerland's Viktorija Golubic 5-7 6-1 6-0.

Jasmina Tinjic of Bosnia 6-0 6-0 was routed by 2007 finalist Yvonne Meusburger in the first-round play. As per the findings, only three points were conceded by the Austrian on serve, comprising a double fault, while she came off her second career final back three days in Budapest.

The last eight was advanced by Karin Knapp of Italy after she beat Romania's Alexandra Cadantu 7-6 (7-5) 4-6 6-1. Germany's second-seeded Annika Beck or Mandy Minella of Luxembourg would now be faced by Knapp.
