No. 5 Diana Shnaider of Russia outlasted Caty McNally 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 and Romania's Sorana Cirstea beat Russia's Anastasia Zakharova 6-3, 6-1.

No. 3 seed Clara Tauson of Denmark reached the quarterfinals with a 6-2, 7-6 (4) win against Germany's Eva Lys. She will face Australia's Maya Joint, a 6-3, 6-1 winner against No. 7 seed Sofia Kenin.
