STANFORD: Second-seeded Marion Bartoli won the last 11 games to surge past unranked US university player Mallory Burdette 7-5, 6-0 Thursday in the second round of the WTA hard-court tournament here.

France’s Bartoli lost only seven points on her serve in the second set as she recovered from 4-1 down in the opening frame against the player who attends Stanford University, where the tournament is held.

Burdette had two chances to take the first set, but couldn’t covert either one and Bartoli seized the chance to turn the tide.

Bartoli next faces fifth-seeded Belgian Yanina Wickmayer in Friday’s quarter-finals, when top-seeded Williams will take on sixth-seeded Chanelle Scheepers of South Africa.
