On Thursday, the quarterfinal of the 2022 WTA Granby Open will feature Daria Saville and Xiyu Wang.
Daria Saville, 28, is having a good time in Quebec after easily dispatching her opponents in the first round. She defeated Katherine Sebov in round two 6-1, 6-0 after defeating Anna Karolina Schmiedlova in the opening match 6-3, 6-3. The current World No. 73 reached the Citi Open semifinals a few weeks ago, losing to Kaia Kanepi, but not before defeating first seed Jessica Pegula in straight sets. Saville also had a moment at the Miami Open, where she competed at #249 and was the lowest-ranked quarterfinalist. In addition to this, she qualified for Indian Wells and advanced to the round of 16. Saville won that competition by defeating several notable competitors, including Shuai Zhang, Ons Jabeur, and Elise Mertens.
The 21-year-old Xiyu Wang has had an impressive Granby Bank Championships season. She defeated Cadence Brace 7-6(4), 6-1 after surviving a tense three-set match with Jamie Loeb (7-6(4), 6-7(5), 6-2) in the opening round. With these two victories, Wang’s overall record for the year is at 36-19. In her most recent match, she defeated veterans Tatjana Maria, Donna Vekic, and Victoria Azarenka to go to the final four in Washington as a qualifier. Additionally, Xiyu finished second in three ITF finals and one Challenger competition (all on clay). In reality, the young Chinese hasn’t displayed any sort of form on hard courts since her previous performances in the US Open swing in 2022.
Daria Saville and Xiyu Wang are scheduled to face one another in the quarterfinal round of the 2022 Granby Open on Thursday, August 25. The tournament is scheduled to run from August 21 till August 27.
The 2022 Granby Open will see six rounds of action excluding the qualifiers. These include the round of 64, round of 32, round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final for women’s. The tournament is scheduled to commence on August 21 and conclude on August 27 this year.
