Wang Yafan is more than a little comfortable in Mexico, having won her first title in 2019 in Acapulco. The world No. 84 defeated Astra Sharma, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-3, to move into the quarterfinals and set up a clash against No. 9 seed Marie Bouzkova.

Bouzkova is seeking her first career WTA title in Monterrey. The Czech easily moved past Anna Karolina Schmiedlova, 6-4, 6-1 and will seek revenge against Wang on Friday—Bouzkova lost to her last year in Acapulco.

Belinda Bencic took fans down memory lane on Thursday with an epic throwback. The world No. 8 posted a photo of herself at the Miami Open in 2003 when she was just a little girl.
