TORONTO — Coco Gauff wasn't interested in excuses. Fatigue, windy conditions and an unfamiliar opponent all worked against her Friday. Gauff, however, was emphatic. She only had herself to blame.
Fatigue, windy conditions and an unfamiliar opponent all worked against her Friday.The women's top seed at the National Bank Open was ousted 6-4, 6-1 by No. 14 Diana Shnaider of Russia in the third round of Canada's tennis championship — another twist at a tournament that's already seen plenty.
Shnaider, ranked No. 24 overall, picked up her first victory over a top-5 or top-10 player on a blustery evening at Sobeys Stadium. Gauff, meanwhile, double-faulted nine times and cut a frustrated figure as the match wore on, often looking to her team in the stands for guidance. Krueger upset No. 15 seed Leylah Fernandez of Laval, Que., on Thursday to eliminate the last remaining Canadian singles player in the draw — both in Toronto and at the men's event in Montreal.
Peyton Stearns became the fifth American in a quarterfinal contingent dominated by the red, white and blue when No. 12 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus retired with a thigh injury.
