Sloane Stephens beaten in Acapulco but Daria Gavrilova advances
Top Seed Sloane Stephens has been knocked out the Mexico Open by world number 138 Stefanie Voegele.
The US Open champion appeared sluggish against Switzerland’s Voegele, who claimed her biggest win in five years with a 6-4 5-7 6-2 success.
Voegele will now face qualifier Rebecca Peterson, who beat fourth seed Zhang Shuai 6-2 6-1 to advance to the semi-final.
