Wednesday at the 2015 Mutua Madrid Open was all about players securing their spots in the tournament’s quarter finals.

The first two big-name players to complete their matches were Petra Kvitova & Maria Sharapova and while the Czech Wimbledon champ had no problems with getting past Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Sharapova had a real challenge on her hands for the first time this week in Caroline Garcia.
