Iva Jovic and Alina Korneeva: Alina Korneeva leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
The break points went almost entirely one way. Jovic saved one of the eight she faced while Korneeva converted seven of eight and won 24 of 33 first-serve points, and the damage started immediately — a break in game 1 for 1-0, another in game 3 for 3-0 — against a betting market that had installed the No. 13 seed as a 63 percent favorite. Seven more breaks followed in the second set, where Korneeva, ranked WTA No. 89, won 75 percent of her first-serve points; she has now come through three matches at the Canadian Open without dropping a set, this one finished in 1 hour 22 minutes. She would go on to face Gauff, the No. 4, for a place in the quarterfinals.
