Jelena Jankovic will meet Lindsay Davenport in a quarter-final at the Bali Classic after both won straight sets victories on Thursday.
Top seeded Jankovic beat Australian Casey Dellacqua 6-4, 6-4 and Davenport dismissed fellow American Julie Ditty 6-1 and 6-4.
Jankovic dropped the first four games but began to show her class against a hard-hitting opponent.
"I didn't practise much after the U.S. Open. I had five days off and didn't do anything," Jankovic said.
Davenport is keen to see her performance against top opponents after a year away from the game when she gave birth to her first child.
"This is what I came back to do, to play some matches and try to play some good players, so I'm excited about it," said Davenport. "I don't know what to expect."
Third seed Patty Schnyder of Switzerland was beaten 6-2, 5-7 and 7-5 by Romanian qualifier Sorana Cirstea and fourth seeded Spaniard Anabel Medina Garrigues lost 7-5, 4-6 and 6-4 to Italian Sara Errani.
