SINGAPORE – Canada’s Leylah Fernandez has advanced to the quarterfinal of the Singapore Open.
Fernandez dispatched Alycia Parks of the United States 6-4, 6-3 on Wednesday in their Round of 16 match at the WTA Tour event.
The sixth-seeded product of Laval, Que., faces top seed Mirra Andreeva, from Russia, in the next round.
Fernandez is No. 31 on the WTA Tour rankings and the 19-year-old Andreeva is fifth.
Fernandez has played spoiler to Andreeva, however, bouncing her from the third round of the National Bank Open in Toronto on Aug. 7.
Parks, ranked 70th in the world, upset Fernandez in the first round of the French Open on May 25.
