Leylah Fernandez was looking for a quarterfinal spot in Osaka against qualifier Dalma Galfi, a solid player but one she has never faced before.

She won fairly convincingly, and will face Rebecca Sramkova in the quarterfinals.

In Ningbo, Elena Rybakina (who has a good shot) and Ekaterina Alexandrova (a long shot for Riyadh) also swung into action.

Rybakina was going to have trouble with Dayana Yastremska – if the best version of the Ukrainian showed up. Which she did, but Rybakina prevailed. So did Alexandrova.
