Selekhmeteva Eyes Maiden Tour-Level Semifinal
Oksana Selekhmeteva reached the quarterfinals in Mérida after defeating Alycia Parks in three sets and Kamilla Rakhimova in straight sets. She now targets her maiden tour-level semifinal.
Last season, she recorded six semifinal-or-better finishes at WTA 125 events, earning a top-100 debut.
In 2026, she shifted focus fully to tour-level events, reaching the third round at the Australian Open and now making another deep run in Mérida.
Selekhmeteva has played two previous tour-level quarterfinals, both in Prague in 2022 and 2024, but has yet to progress beyond that stage.

Resurgent Stearns Eyes Deep Austin Run
Peyton Stearns cruised past Kaja Juvan 6-2, 6-0 to reach the quarterfinals in Austin. She won 83 percent of her first-serve points and saved both break points she faced.
It marks her most convincing performance of the season, especially after struggling in a three-set opener against Francesca Jones.
This is only the second time in the last nine months she has won multiple main-draw matches, the other being her third-round run at the Australian Open earlier this year.
Stearns now reaches her first hard-court quarterfinal since Cleveland 2024 and her second quarterfinal overall in the past year, following her semifinal in Rome.
