–

Leylah Fernandez into the quarterfinals, with a spotlight match against homegirl and No. 6 seed Jessica Pegula. What a battle it was, and what a tough loss for Fernandez.

As well, something to sink your teeth into as world No. 1 Iga Swiatek met fearless teen Mirra Andreeva.

And after the doubles later on – where Fernandez rallied impressively – there will be Canadian content on both sides of the court in the final on Sunday night.
