Rybakina Extends Strong Run With Another Tokyo Quarterfinal
Elena Rybakina reached the quarterfinals in Tokyo after defeating Yulia Putintseva in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3. She saved the only break point she faced and converted three of the five opportunities she created during the match.
This is her second consecutive quarterfinal appearance in Tokyo. Last year, she defeated Victoria Mboko in straight sets at this stage before giving a walkover in the semifinals. She will look to match that result this week.
After winning her second Grand Slam title at the US Open and reaching the world No. 1 ranking, Rybakina suffered a disappointing opening-round loss in Beijing. However, she bounced back by defending her title in Ningbo and has continued that momentum in Tokyo.
She now enters this quarterfinal with a 7-5 record in tour-level quarterfinals this year, with four of her five defeats coming against top-20 players.

Fernandez Closes in on Top-20 Return With Tokyo Progress
Leylah Fernandez defeated Elise Mertens in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6, to book her place in the quarterfinals. She squandered a 4-1 lead in the second set and saved two set points in the tiebreak before sealing the match in straight sets.
This is her second career quarterfinal appearance in Tokyo. She previously reached this stage in 2024 but lost to Qinwen Zheng in three sets. She will be looking for a better result this week.
Apart from quarterfinal appearances in clay events in Stuttgart, Madrid and Strasbourg, Fernandez struggled to produce notable results during the first seven months of the season. She also failed to defend her title in Washington, which contributed to her dropping out of the top 30 in the rankings.
However, she gradually rediscovered her form in the following months, winning the title in Singapore, reaching the final in Ningbo, and making the fourth round in Toronto and the third round at the US Open and in Wuhan. These results have brought her close to returning to the top 20 in the rankings.
