The 20 year old Spaniard, Garbine Muguruzu, is through to the quarter finals of the Auckland Tennis Classic after knocking out the Canadian qualifier Sharon Fichman in three sets.
The 23 year old Canadian ranked 116 in the world made headlines earlier in the week after dispatching the 4th seed Sorana Cirstea in the first round.
After a sleepy start, Muguruzu made quick work of her opponent, 1-6 6-3 6-3.
The world number 64 from Barcelona will meet either Venus Williams or the Austrian Yvonne Meusburger in the next round.
