Fernandez advances to Monterrey Open semis

Leylah Annie Fernandez has advanced to the semifinals of the Monterrey Open after defeating China's Qiang Wang in straight sets (7-6, 6-4). 

She came back from being down 3-0 in the opening set to force a tie-break before taking the set. She secured the victory in the second set and will take on Brazil's Haddad Maia in the next round. 

The 19-year-old Canadian is the defending Monterrey Open champion.
