Canada's Eugenie Bouchard lost her quarterfinal match and was eliminated from the Shenzhen Open in China on Thursday.
According to TSN, the tournament's sixth-seed bowed 6-4, 6-4 to the unseeded Timea Babos of Hungary who is currently ranked as No. 70 in the world.
Babos, 22, who was once the juniors No.2 in the ITF rankings, will next take on the 2014 Tianjin Open winner Alison Riske of the United States, who is currently ranked as 97th in the world.

The Canadian player was once ranked as the world's No. 5 in October 20, 2014, but has dropped to 49 in the current rankings.
After over three months since her last match, Shenzhen Open was Bouchard's first significant tournament comeback since suffering concussion in a locker room fall that knocked her out of the US Open last summer.
The 21-year-old professional tennis player did not complete in another match in 2015, pulling out of her attempted comeback in Beijing in October, and suing the United States Tennis Association over the untoward incident.
Bouchard easily defeated unseeded Nicole Gibbs of the United States 6-4, 6-2 to advance to the quarterfinal stage of the competition on Wednesday.
In the other matches, tournament's top seed and the current world's No. 5 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland beat Wang Qiang of China, who is the No. 110 in the world ranking, and advanced to the competition's semifinals 6-3, 6-2.
The top-seeded Pole, who was the big winner at the end of 2015 when she triumphed at the WTA Finals, saved two break points in the second set. She will next face Anna-Lena Friedsam of Germany who is currently ranked as the world's No. 95.
Friedsam beat Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic in three sets 6-4, 2-6, 6-1.
