Leylah Fernandez is building positive momentum as she approaches the French Open.
The Canadian star secured her place in the quarterfinals of the Strasbourg International, triumphing over world No. 49 Magdalena Frech from Poland with a score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 on Tuesday.
Seeded seventh in this clay-court tournament, Fernandez had faced early exits in her last two competitions.
This WTA Tour 500 event in France serves as a vital warm-up ahead of the French Open, commencing this Sunday.
Canada’s Victoria Mboko, the top seed in Strasbourg, was set to take the court later on Tuesday.
