The seeds ran nicely to form in Stuttgart with Rybakina, Gauff, Swiatek, Svitolina, Andreeva and Muchova among those to reach the final eight.
And also – Leylah Fernandez. Who battled through another three-hour marathon. But this time, she was facing the world No. 2. And despite two match points, the champion managed to get over the top.
In Rouen, there’s been more carnage, but the top two seeds – Marta Kostyuk and Linz finalist Sorana Cirstea, remain.
