Canada’s Leylah Fernandez dropped a 6-3, 7-6 (6) decision to Ukraine’s Dayana Yastremska in the Nottingham Open quarterfinals on Thursday.
Yastremska saved a set point in the second-set tiebreak.
She converted both her break chances, while Fernandez went 1-for-8.
Yastremska finished with five aces to Fernandez’s one.
The Laval, Que., native, seeded fifth at the grass-court event, landed 73 per cent of her first serves but won just 41 per cent on second serve.
It was Yastremska’s first win in three career meetings with Fernandez.
