The terrible weather mostly stayed away with Agnieszka Radwanska looked more assured in her 6-3 7-5 victory over American Taylor Townsend to join the other top seeds in making it to the quarterfinals of the ASB Classic on Day 3.

Classic second seed Julia Goerges staked her claim as being a contender for this year's tournament with an impressive 6-4 6-0 win over Viktoria Kuzmova.
