Defending champion Jelena Jankovic moved into the quarter-finals of the Claro Open Colsanitas in Bogota.

The top seed, whose resurgence began in Colombia last year, was a 6-4 6-3 winner over lucky loser Sofia Shapatava.

In the last eight Jankovic will play Lara Arruabarrena, who upset seventh seed Paula Ormaechea 6-4 7-6 (7/3).

Arruabarrena's victory prevented a repeat of last year's final, where Jankovic lost only three games against Ormaechea.
