For the 20-year-old Ito, it was her first Top 50 win to advance to her first WTA Tour quarterfinal. She notched the victory by capturing five of nine break opportunities to win 56 percent of her return games.

Also posting wins Wednesday were Clara Tauson of Denmark, Germany’s Eva Lys, Suzan Lamens of the Netherlands and Australian Kimberly Birrell.
