(Reuters) - Former world number one Victoria Azarenka's return from maternity leave was cut short by young Croatian Ana Konjuh at the Mallorca Open on Thursday. Konjuh, 19, dominated from the start and Azarenka had no answer to the depth and power of her opponent. "I was motivated for sure, and I'm really glad that I could play so well today and win." Italian Roberta Vinci also reached the last eight with a 6-4 5-7 6-2 win over Belgium's Kirsten Flipkens. Defending champion Caroline Garcia's match against Jana Cepelova was suspended at 2-2 in the third set as the light faded.
