Israeli number one Shahar Peer caused an upset in the GDF Suez Grand Prix in Budapest.
She hammered second seed and defending champion Alize Cornet to move into the quarter-finals.
Peer, seeking her fourth WTA Tour title, breezed to a 6-2 6-0 win and will next play Ukrainian sixth seed Alona Bondarenko, who continued her progress with a tight 6-4 4-6 6-4 win over Ioana Olaru.
Peer's win was not the only shock as third seed Sybille Bammer was beaten 4-6 7-5 6-2 by Edina Gallovits. Croatian qualifier Petra Martic continued her fine form with a 6-3 6-2 win over Mariya Koryttseva.
In delayed first round action, top seed Patty Schnyder of Switzerland started her campaign with a comfortable 7-6 6-3 win over Andrea Petkovic.
