Eight third-round matches on tap in Toronto – including a boffo matchup between Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff.

That one turned out epic – although hardly in the true sense of the world, with 33 double faults between them.

As well, a rematch of last year’s Montreal final – except a few rounds earlier – between Camila Giorgi and Jessica Pegula. Pegula got her revenge.

And Bianca Andreescu hit the wall against talented, hard-hitting newcomer Zheng Qinwen.
