MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Top-seeded Danielle Collins is out of the WTA 500 event in Monterrey, beaten 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 by Erika Andreeva in a match that finished about 1 a.m. at the hardcourt tournament in Mexico.
Andreeva beat a top-20 player for the first time to advance to the quarterfinals of a top-level WTA tournament, also for the first time.
Earlier, sixth-seeded Linda Noskova dropped just one game in a 49-minute, 6-0, 6-1 win over Anna Danilina of Kazakhstan to reach the round of 16.
The 19-year-old Czech will next meet either Wang Xiyu of China or Germany’s Tatjana Maria.
Defending champion Donna Vekic withdrew from the Monterrey tournament after winning the Olympic silver medal in Paris.
