–

Only four singles matches – and only four seeds, total, only one in single digits – on the women’s sked for Monday.

But all three Canadians involved in doubles took over “Canada Court 6”.

After her disappointment in singles Leylah Fernandez was back on court.

But she and Katerina Siniakova were eliminated, with Siniakova likely not at 100 per cent after retiring in her singles Sunday.
