–

Only one seed left in the Monastir singles quarterfinals, and it’s a low one in No. 7 Lucia Bronzetti. Everyone else went out early. And she’s in the final four.

It’s similar in Guadalajara, although Caroline Garcia got through a tight opener on Thursday and No. 6 Marie Bouzkova made it to the final eight as well. But Bouzkova withdrew with a gastrointestinal illness, one that also afflicted American Ashlyn Krueger in the previous round.

And Canadian rookie Marina Stakusic survived an epic, messy marathon against No. 1 seed Jelena Ostapenko to make her first WTA level quarterfinal. But her first WTA quarterfinal against Magdalena Frech was all a little too much for her.

(Monastir is 5 hours ahead of EDT; Guadalajara is two hours behind)
