British players enjoyed a strong day three at the Lexus Wrexham Open, with Alicia Dudeney, Jodie Burrage and Hannah Klugman all progressing to Friday's quarter-finals.
Dudeney, in excellent form, extended her winning run to seven matches in the World Tennis Tour W100 event at Wrexham Tennis and Padel Centre. She outlasted seventh seed Susan Bandecchi from Switzerland 6-3 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 in a match lasting two hours and 51 minutes. She will now face French player Elsa Jacquemot in the last eight.
Dudeney was followed into the Carden Park Arena by Klugman, who produced another excellent performance to beat higher-ranked Czech player Anna Siskova 6-2 6-4. The 17-year-old, who reached the French Open junior girls' final last year and is currently ranked 341, will now play sixth seed Rebecca Sramkova from Slovakia.
The tournament runs from 18-25 October at Wrexham Tennis and Padel Centre, with coverage available live on BBC Sport online and BBC iPlayer. The strong showing extends a productive week for British players as the event moves into its quarter-final stage.
