Uchijima has won just one of her last five matches, a straight-sets victory over Efremova, but has struggled with consistency on clay recently. She enters this quarterfinal clash as an unranked player facing a seeded opponent.

Nguyen Tan, ranked 645th, has momentum on her side with consecutive straight-sets wins over Tubello and Kabbaj leading into this last-eight encounter. The French player is undefeated in her last two matches at Saint Malo.
