Maria Sharapova continued her build-up for Wimbledon by winning back-to-back matches to reach the quarter-finals of the Edgbaston Classic on Thursday.
The former Russian world number one was left stranded leading American Alexa Glatch 6-3, 5-4 on Wednesday when rain washed out the rest of the day's play.
On resumption Sharapova, who is on a comeback trail following a nine-month layoff due to a shoulder injury, needed just one game to complete a 6-3, 6-4 second-round win.
The world number 73 was soon back on court to mete out more punishment. Italian seventh seed Francesca Schiavone offered little resistance before slumping to a 6-1, 6-3 defeat.
In other upsets, Hungarian Melinda Czink edged Canadian third seed Aleksandra Wozniak 6-7, 7-5, 7-5 while India's Sania Mirza beat number five Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia 7-6, 3-6, 6-2.
