Canada’s Leylah Fernandez was eliminated in the third round of the Charleston Open tennis tournament following a 6-3, 6-0 loss to Russia’s Diana Shnaider on Thursday.
Shnaider faced just two break points, saving both, and put consistent pressure on Fernandez’s serve.
The seventh-seeded Russian had 15 break-point chances, converting four of them.
Shnaider will face either top-seeded American Jessica Pegula or 14th-seeded Italian Elisabetta Cocciaretto in the quarterfinals of the WTA 500 event.
Fernandez, who was seeded ninth in South Carolina, saw her record this year fall to 4-9.
Shnaider has won three straight matches against Fernandez to take a 3-2 lead in their career series.
