We’ve got a jam-packed day of action at the Canadian Open, with all four men’s quarter-finals taking place in Montreal, while Coco Gauff, Belinda Bencic, Elena Rybakina and Naomi Osaka all battle for a spot in the last four of the women’s event in Toronto.

21:29 CET - The clash between young sensations Rafael Jodar and Arthur Fils has been suspended due to rain, with the opening set currently on serve at 5-4 to the former.

Jodar raced into a 3-0 lead, but Fils then steadied the ship and broke back in the seventh game.

20:16 CET - Brandon Nakashima is into the semi-finals of the Canadian Open!

The second set was a much tighter affair than the first, lasting 52 minutes and seeing the American face four break point, but he saved them all and ultimately sealed a 6-2, 6-3 win over Luciano Darderi.

As a result, he's into the final four of a Masters 100 tournament for the first time.
