In Monterrey, Mexico, Emma Navarro from the United States, the second seed, defeated Magdalena Frech from Poland, the ninth seed, with a score of 6-7 (3), 6-0, 6-2, advancing to the semifinals of the Monterrey Open. The 23-year-old Navarro is set to compete against either Elina Svitolina from Ukraine or Linda Noskova from the Czech Republic in the WTA 500 hard-court event at Sonoma Club on Friday.

Navarro, who secured the NCAA championship in 2021 during her freshman year at the University of Virginia, clinched her first WTA Tour title in January in Hobart. Despite a loss to Diana Shnaider in the Trophee Clarins final in Paris in May, Navarro continues to demonstrate her prowess on the tennis court.

Alexandrova secured her spot in the semifinals after defeating Yue Yuan from China with a score of 7-5, 7-6 (3), while Sun emerged victorious over Erika Andreeva of Russia with a score of 6-4, 6-3.

The ongoing action at the Monterrey Open has brought intense competition among talented players vying for victory at the tournament.
