–

Only four of the original 16 seeds made the quarters, and only two of the top seven.

But on the Canadian content side, the doubles quarterfinals scheduled for Saturday are LOADED up.

The Fernandez sisters, wild-cards Arseneault and Kupres (who got a walkover in the second round) and of course top seeds Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe were all looking for final-four spots. And Canada wins!
