Daria Saville has booked her place in the quarterfinals at a WTA 250 tournament in Granby in convincing fashion.
The ninth-seeded Australian needed only 63 minutes to beat Canadian wildcard Katherine Sebov 6-1 6-0 in second-round action today.
This propels world No.73 Saville into her fourth WTA quarterfinal of the season. She now faces Chinese world No.75 Wang Xiyu for a place in the semifinals.
