Day five of the Bank of the West Classic saw all four quarterfinal singles matches being played, with just one lone doubles match deciding who will be the last duo heading to the semifinals.  

With top seed Caroline Wozniacki having been bounced from the competition on Thursday, Agnieszka Radwanska had the pressure of being the highest remaining seed as she looked to punch her ticket to the semifinals.

By virtue of her win over Riske, Svitolina will square off against Kerber, who took down the tournament's No. 2-ranked Radwanska to clinch a berth in the semifinals.
