Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek became the latest seed to fall at the Canadian Open as she suffered a surprise defeat by Clara Tauson in the fourth round.
Denmark’s Tauson, ranked 19th, avenged her fourth-round loss to Swiatek at Wimbledon last month with a 7-6, 6-3 victory over the second seed in Montreal.
Swiatek’s exit comes after top seed Coco Gauff, two-time defending champion Jessica Pegula and fourth seed Mirra Andreeva were all knocked out.
Tauson will face Australian Open champion Madison Keys in the quarter-finals after the American saved two match points en route to a 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 win over Czech Karolina Muchova.
