Latest result:

(1) Kathy Ireland - 48%
(16) Marisa Miller - 52%

#16 Marisa Miller will face the winner of #25 Vendela Kirsebom vs. #9 Irina Shayk, to be revealed tomorrow, in the Quarterfinal Round of the Main Draw.

My spin: Marisa came out on top in a close one and advanced to the Quarterfinal Round. This match was close the whole way, but Marisa was actually always in front. It's an impressive win for Marisa, knocking off Kathy the legend.

Latest result:

#25 Vendela Kirsebom - 44%
#9 Irina Shayk - 56%

#9 Irina Shayk will face #16 Marisa Miller in the Quarterfinal Round of the Main Draw.

My spin: In the battle of the butts, Irina came out on top to advance to the Quarterfinal Round, where she'll square off against Marisa. I'd have to declare Marisa a favorite in that next match, but that takes nothing away from a great showing so far in the tournament by Irina.

Latest result:

Josie Maran - 61%
#13 Ashley Richardson - 39%

Josie Maran will face the winner of Nina Agdal vs. #21 Kate Upton, to be revealed tomorrow, in the Quarterfinal Round of the Main Draw.

My spin: Ashley made it further into the tournament than I expected coming in, so a loss here for her isn't too surprising. The surprising part is Josie and her run into the final eight models in the entire tournament. She has benefitted from a rather favorable draw, and her key win over #4 seed Christie Brinkley set the stage for her road to the Quarterfinal Round. Beginning next round, with either Nina or Kate waiting in the wings, Josie's task of advancing further will get much more difficult.

Latest result:

Nina Agdal - 69%
(21) Kate Upton - 31%

Nina Agdal will face Josie Maran in the Quarterfinal Round of the Main Draw.

My spin: Wow! I had thought Nina might have a chance in her match against Kate, but I never expected to have her get more than two-thirds of the vote. This is a pretty overwhelming result, and Kate's fans will be unhappy to learn she's been knocked out in the Sexy Sixteen. Perhaps this is an indication of a groundswell of support for a cover appearance for Nina? Who knows, but it's certainly an impressive win, and Nina looks like she'll be tough to stop.

Latest result:

Shannan Click - 17%
#18 Brooklyn Decker - 83%

#18 Brooklyn Decker will face the winner of #26 Bar Refaeli vs. Stephanie Seymour, to be revealed tomorrow, in the Quarterfinal Round of the Main Draw.

My spin: After yesterday's shocker of a result, we go back to a completely expected one. Brooklyn had no trouble getting past Shannan, as expected, and she advances to the Quarterfinal Round. This is a great example of the magic of tournaments. If Shannan had gotten a tougher draw, this is probably what would have happened to her in a much earlier round. But, she had a very favorable draw and took full advantage of it to end up in the Sexy Sixteen. Regardless of the draw, winning five matches to get from the Qualifying Round to the final 16 models is eye opening and deserves a lot of respect. Good run for Shannan!

Latest result:

#26 Bar Refaeli - 55%
Stephanie Seymour - 45%

#26 Bar Refaeli will face #18 Brooklyn Decker in the Quarterfinal Round of the Main Draw.

My spin: Stephanie pulled off an upset over Heidi Klum in the last round, but the Bar was too high in the Sexy Sixteen. Bar advances to what should be a great matchup against Brooklyn in the Quarterfinal Round.

Latest result:

#3 Elle Macpherson - 76%
#14 Anne Vyalitsyna - 24%

#3 Elle Macpherson will face the winner of #6 Yamila Diaz-Rahi vs. Lucia Dvorska, to be revealed tomorrow, in the Quarterfinal Round of the Main Draw.

My spin: Anne V had a good run in this year's tournament, advancing all the way to the Sexy Sixteen and justifying her #14 seed, but she was no match for The Body. Elle easily moves on to the Quarterfinal Round. Really, she hasn't been challenged this entire tournament, so we'll see if that continues in the Quarterfinal Round, too.

The final Round 4 result will be revealed tomorrow. Quarterfinal matches will begin tomorrow, as well!

 

It's Quarterfinals time! Alright, first the final result of Round 4:

Latest result:

#6 Yamila Diaz-Rahi - 56%
Lucia Dvorska - 44%

#6 Yamila Diaz-Rahi will face #3 Elle Macpherson in the Quarterfinal Round of the Main Draw.

My spin: Lucia's amazing run from the Qualifying Draw to the late stages of the tournament finally comes to an end at the hands of Yamila. Next round's Yamila vs. Elle matchup is the only one of the four Quarterfinal matches to feature two models who are "supposed to be here." By that, I mean that they are both in the top 8 seeds. No other match has that, interestingly enough.

Our four Quarterfinal Round matches are:
#16 Marisa Miller vs. #9 Irina Shayk
Josie Maran vs. Nina Agdal
#18 Brooklyn Decker vs. #26 Bar Refaeli
#3 Elle Macpherson vs. #6 Yamila Diaz-Rahi

Latest result:

#16 Marisa Miller - 60%
#9 Irina Shayk - 40%

#16 Marisa Miller will face the winner of Josie Maran vs. Nina Agdal, to be revealed tomorrow, in the Quarterfinal Round of the Main Draw.

My spin: Marisa continues to look the part of a contender for the championship, as she disposes of Irina in the Quarterfinal Round. Some models have been the beneficiary of a favorable draw in the tournament, but Marisa has not been one of those. Her Round 1 match was against Rachel Roberts, who had destroyed her competition in the Qualifying Draw. But, Marisa easily advanced to Round 2, where she faced another tough test, Chrissy Teigen. Again, Marisa advanced easily. Since then, she's gotten past #17 Petra Nemcova, #1 Kathy Ireland, and now #9 Irina Shayk to advance to the Semifinal Round. She has earned it! Kudos to Irina, as well, for a great run through the 2013 tournament.

Nina Agdal - 64%

Nina Agdal will face #16 Marisa Miller in the Semifinal Round of the Main Draw.

My spin: Josie's unexpected run through the tournament comes to an end at the hands of the red-hot Nina. The Semifinal matchup between Nina and Marisa seems like a toss up to me!

#26 Bar Refaeli - 45%

#18 Brooklyn Decker will face the winner of #3 Elle Macpherson vs. #6 Yamila Diaz-Rahi, to be revealed tomorrow, in the Semifinal Round of the Main Draw.

My spin: Brooklyn and Bar were close the entire way, with Brooklyn almost always maintaining a slight lead. That's how it ended up, too, as Brooklyn moves on to the Semifinal Round. Bar's great run in the 2013 tournament comes to a close.

It's time for the Semifinal Round!

First, the latest result from the Quarterfinal Round:

#3 Elle Macpherson - 67%
#6 Yamila Diaz-Rahi - 33%

#3 Elle Macpherson will face #18 Brooklyn Decker in the Semifinal Round of the Main Draw.

My spin: The Body proved to be too much for Yamila to handle in the Quarterfinal Round, as the Argentine model gets knocked out after a very good run in the tournament. Elle joins Brooklyn, Nina, and Marisa in the Semifinal Round. It's hard to pick a winner out of those four!!
