Alexis Galarneau, top seed of the $82,000 event, booked his spot in the quarterfinals with a 6-1, 6-4 second-round win over Tung-Lin Wu of Chinese Taipei on Wednesday. The 153rd-ranked Canadian sent down three aces and won 81 per cent of his first-service points to seal victory in one hour and 32 minutes.
Galarneau will next take on No. 6 seed Mitchell Krueger of the United States, who edged past his compatriot Aidan Mayo 7-6(7), 6-3 in one hour and 10 minutes.
Also in the top half of the Little Rock Open draw, US-American Brandon Holt defeated Seongchan Hong of South Korea 6-2, 6-3.
