The clock finally struck midnight on Canada’s run in both the men’s and women’s singles draws at the National Bank Open
Match fitness was always going to be a challenge for Milos Raonic the further he went in the tournament, and a third match in four days proved too much as the Thornhill, Ont., native fell to Mackenzie McDonald in straight sets on Thursday in Toronto. Having to stop and start due to rain couldn’t have helped the body much, either.
Meanwhile, Leylah Fernandez had a subpar outing after leaving it all on the court against Beatriz Haddad Maia the day before, falling in straight sets to Danielle Collins in Montreal.
Andy Murray sadly bid adieu to the Toronto fans without playing a point of his round-of-16 matchup with Jannik Sinner, citing an abdominal strain.
There was some thrilling tennis when the weather permitted, though, so let’s look ahead to the great action that awaits us Friday.

Favourites Bending But Not Breaking
Top seeds Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz are still alive in the tournament, barely.
Swiatek was pushed to the limit both physically and mentally in her French Open final rematch against Karolina Muchova. She won in three sets, with the final two being particularly tense, and had to manage her body and mind through a rain delay that saw the match begin in the early afternoon and end late at night.

The Polish superstar can take some solace in knowing that at least her quarterfinal opponent, Danielle Collins, played even later and wrapped up her night closer to midnight.
Alcaraz has been patchy through his opening two matches. Hubert Hurkacz took full advantage with an opening-set lead. After Alcaraz won the second in a tiebreak, it appeared the momentum had shifted as he raced out to a 5-2 lead in the third set. He took his foot off the gas and was tied 5-5 soon after, before finally claiming the match in another tiebreak.
Alcaraz will look to hit the ground running Friday against American Tommy Paul, who has had himself quite the year in cracking the ATP top 15.

Upset Crew
While the top seed in the men’s draw is safe, for now, we have got to take some time to acknowledge the players who have pulled off major upsets to still be standing themselves.
McDonald defeated ATP No. 7 Andrey Rublev earlier in the tournament and is now in the quarters after his win over Raonic. His opponent, Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, is looking like a giant killer himself with wins over Alexander Zverev and No. 5 Casper Ruud, while French veteran Gael Monfils will take his shot against No. 8 Jannik Sinner having already jumped 69 spots in the ATP rankings with his exploits this week.

Not quite in the major upset category, No. 18 Alex de Minaur has earned his place in the quarterfinals by downing both No. 13 Cameron Norrie and No. 9 Taylor Fritz along the way. He now gets a crack at No. 3 Daniil Medvedev.
It has been pretty smooth sailing for the best in the women’s game, as six of the top seven seeds are still in the tournament.
Coco Surging
Fresh off winning the Citi Open in Washington, Coco Gauff has carried her stellar form into Montreal and is now into the quarterfinals and will face fellow American and No. 4 seed Jessica Pegula. The two also happen to be doubles partners.
The 19-year-old Gauff made a statement Thursday night with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Wimbledon champ Marketa Vondrousova and now has to be considered a contender for the U.S. Open.
CanCon
While there are no Canadians remaining in the singles draw, Carl Zhao and Marina Stakusic are still flying the flag in women’s doubles. With the huge rain delay in Montreal, their round-of-16 match against Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Ellen Perez will now be played Friday.
