Lily Miyazaki’s bid to reach the quarter-finals of a WTA event for the first time were dashed by Croatia’s Antonia Ruzic at the Jasmin Open.
British No 5 Miyazaki was hoping to join compatriot Sonay Kartal in the quarter-finals in Monastir, Tunisia but succumbed to Ruzic in straight sets.
Ruzic – ranked 173rd in the world – needed just 71 minutes to wrap up victory, prevailing 6-3 6-1 to set up a tie with Italian seventh seed Lucia Bronzetti in the last eight.
On Wednesday, British No 4 Kartal reached the first WTA quarter-final of her career with a straight-sets win over Mai Hontama.
Kartal will face Yulia Starodubtsewa of Ukraine next on Thursday for a place in the semi-finals.
