Overview
- Dabrowski and Ekaterina Alexandrova lost a tight first-round doubles match to Coco Gauff and Caty McNally on Thursday, dropping a 3-6, 6-3, 11-9 tiebreak after failing to convert a match point.
- Alexandrova advanced in singles by beating Talia Gibson 5-7, 6-1, 6-3 and moved into the tournament’s Round of 16.
- Bianca Andreescu and Kayla Cross were defeated by Quinn Gleason and Ulrikke Eikeri, which removed the last Canadian team from the doubles draw and left Leylah Fernandez as the only Canadian still in singles.
- Rain and repeated drizzle delays forced multiple suspensions of play at Sobeys Stadium, interrupting momentum for several matches and complicating scheduling across sessions.
- Dabrowski, the world No. 3 in doubles, is restoring her regular partnership with Luisa Stefani after Stefani skipped Toronto to rest a sore elbow, a move that could shape their Cincinnati tune-up and preparation for the US Open.
