It is their third meeting this season. Andreeva won their Madrid quarterfinal 7-6(1), 6-3 in April; Fernandez hit back 6-1, 6-4 in the Toronto third round in August. In Singapore, the Roland Garros champion opened with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Aliaksandra Sasnovich, and Fernandez beat Alycia Parks 6-4, 6-3.
Prozorova ends Eala’s run
The upset of the week came on Thursday, when world No. 180 Tatiana Prozorova beat third seed Alexandra Eala 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 in three hours and nine minutes, coming back from a set and 4-2 down. It was her first win over a top-20 player and puts her in her first WTA quarterfinal, against Wang Xinyu, who beat qualifier Joanna Garland 7-5, 6-4.
Eala had called Singapore a near-home crowd after junior memories at the WTA Future Stars.
