June 15, 2012 - The quarter-finals of the South Australia Open in Adelaide saw the demise of the second seeds in the men's and women's events.

In the women's draw Samantha Davies beat second seed Milou Van Der Heijden in straight games and now meets fellow-Aussie Tamika Saxby for a place in the final, while top seed Amanda Landers-Murphy faces an all-New Zealand clash with Megan Craig, who ousted third seed Sarah Cardwell in straight games.
