It’s an all-Canadian wild card … card on Monday in Montreal as Leylah Fernandez takes to the court against qualifier Harriet Dart of Great Britain at 7 p.m.
Unfortunately, and even with an injury to Dart’s calf, Fernandez went down in two tight sets.
She was followed by her friend, big sister and doubles partner Rebecca Marino, who faces a tough one in No. 16 seed Madison Keys.
