Defending champion Leylah Fernandez looks for a semifinal berth in Monterrey against the former world No. 12, Wang Qiang.

And in Lyon, homegirl Caroline Garcia and emotional favorite Dayana Yastremska of Ukraine were trying to do the same. And both made it.

Notably, Garcia came back from a 1-4 deficit in the third set.
