–

Only one Canadian in action, and that’s Gabriela Dabrowski in doubles.

She and partner Luisa Stefani had a tough task as they face the kids – Mirra Andreescu, the sensation of the tournament who turned 16 Saturday, and her older sister Erika. They got it done.

On the singles side, Kudermetova v Potapova was the most dramatic of the matches, not too surprisingly.
