Patty Schnyder photoOur cutie pie from Switzerland, 13th ranked Patty Schnyder, lost to Serena Williams of the USA in the Quarterfinals of the 2008 WTA Tour Bank of the West Classic at Stanford, California, USA being played Jul 14-20.

It was a straight set win for the # 1 seed, Serena Williams, 6-3, 6-1. Serena proved to be too tough for Patty, who was the 5th seed in the tournament. But this should help get Patty ready for the U.S. Open in August. Good luck Patty!
