–

Three Canadians up in Madrid on Friday, beginning with qualifier Genie Bouchard taking on No. 18 seed Martina Trevisan, in her fourth match in five days.

Then, No. 23 seed Bianca Andreescu made her Madrid debut against Chinese lefty Wang Xiyu.

Unfortunately both are out as Andreescu was inches from taking it in straight sets, but fell in three.

And No. 6 seed Gabriela Dabrowski and partner Luisa Stefani mad their entrance in the women’s doubles, and got through without too many issues.
