Caroline Garcia advanced to the quarterfinal stage in the WTA Mallorca Open after a two-set victory over Johanna Larsson in the round of 16.

Garcia, who is the tournament’s No. 1 seed, beat Sweden’s Larsson 6-4, 6-3.

Earlier in the day, Alison Riske beat Angelique Kerber in their delayed match to eliminate progress to the next round.
