Peruvians Sol Aguirre and Arena Rodríguez and Costa Rican Leilani McGonagle were eliminated in the round of 16 of the Newcastle Challenger.
Aguirre was unable to do so in a series in which she did not show the same form as in previous days, against local Sally Fitzgibbons.
Rodríguez, for her part, lost by 0,37 to the young Portuguese Kika Veselko (8,87 to 8,5).
And finally, Leilani McGonagle was beaten by the 14-year-old Frenchwoman Tya Zebrowski.
The result leaves them tied for ninth in the rankings, with seven of them qualifying for the 2026 CT at the end of the season.
The next stage of the CS will be in Ballito, South Africa, between June 30 and July 6.
