–

No Leylah Fernandez in the singles semis, after a heartbreaker against No. 6 Jessica Pegula in tough conditions on Saturday.

But she is in the late-night women’s doubles final. And on the other side of the court, Cana-Kiwi and world No. 1, Erin Routliffe.

So it was the former Montrealer who lives in Florida against the player who represents New Zealand – who lives in Montreal. Basically. With the world No. 1 prevailing.

Oh yes, and Iga Swiatek v Aryna Sabalenka. Which was a surprisingly lifeless performance from Swiatek.

So it will be Sabalenka v Jessica Pegula in the final on Monday.
