The Canadian Open, also known as the National Bank Open, has seen some major upsets in its latest round, with both Britain's Cameron Norrie and world number one Aryna Sabalenka making an unexpected exit in the last 16.
Norrie's impressive run, which included a victory over Alex de Minaur in the previous round, was cut short in Montreal. He faced Arthur Fils, who ultimately defeated him, ending his hot streak at the tournament. Fans were certainly hoping to see Norrie progress further, especially after his strong performance leading up to this match.
Meanwhile, in the women's draw, top seed Aryna Sabalenka also suffered a surprise defeat. Sabalenka, who is currently ranked as the world's number one, has been struggling with her form recently, only reaching one semi-final in her last six tournaments and not securing a title since March. Her early departure from the Canadian Open continues this challenging period, leaving many to wonder about her upcoming performances.
