Leylah Fernandez is still cooking. And her quarterfinal match against young Mirra Andreeva had potential.

Andreeva nearly squandered a massive lead in the third set of her match against unseeded Anna Bondar on Monday, finally prevailing in a third-set tiebreak.

With no offday, that was quick reset both physically and mentally for her. And she looked tired, but she got through.

Same for Hailey Baptiste, who had a great win on Monday against Belinda Bencic, and now had to face the world No. 1. And pulled off a major win.
