Canada's Fernandez ousted by Yastremska in Nottingham quarterfinals

Canada's Leylah Fernandez dropped a 6-3, 7-6 (6) decision to Ukraine's Dayana Yastremska in the Nottingham Open quarterfinals on Thursday.

Yastremska saved a set point in the second-set tiebreak.

She converted both her break chances, while Fernandez went 1-for-8.

Yastremska finished with five aces to Fernandez's one.

The Laval, Que., native, seeded fifth at the grass-court event, landed 73 per cent of her first serves but won just 41 per cent on second serve.

It was Yastremska's first win in three career meetings with Fernandez.
