TORONTO (Reuters) - Defending champion Petra Kvitova suffered a shock exit when unseeded Romanian Sorana Cirstea beat the Czech 4-6 7-5 6-2 on Friday to move in the semi-finals of the Rogers Cup.

Cirstea was joined by top seed Serena Williams, who thumped Magdalena Rybarikova 6-1 6-1 and set up a semi-final clash with third seed Agnieszka Radwanska who overcame her own ineffective serving to beat Italy's Sara Errani 7-6(1) 7-5.
