Top seed Gauff fights back to win in Montreal

Coco Gauff fired 14 double faults in her win against Veronika Kudermetova

Top seed Coco Gauff progressed to the fourth round of the Canadian Open after a comeback win against Veronika Kudermetova in Montreal.

The world number two recovered from a set and a break down to win 4-6 7-5 6-2 and make it to the final 16 of the tournament for the fifth time running.

The 2025 French Open champion will face 18-year-old wildcard Victoria Mboko in the next round after the Canadian's 1-6 3-6 6-0 victory against the Czech Republic's Marie Bouzkova.

The teenager, playing at a career-high ranking of 85, is guaranteed to move into the top 70 following her victory.

Fourth seed Mirra Andreeva exited the competition after she was beaten 7-6 6-5 by 28th seed McCartney Kessler, who will meet Ukraine's 27th seed Marta Kostyuk, who posted a 3-6 6-3 7-6 (7-4) win against 15th seed Daria Kasatkina.

Unseeded Zhu Lin of China is also through to the fourth round after a 6-2 6-2 victory against Suzan Lamens.

Zverev records 500th tour win

In the men's draw in Toronto, Alexander Zverev set up a fourth-round tie against Francisco Cerundolo with a 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 6-2 win against Italy's Matteo Arnaldi.

The victory was the German's 500th tour-level win of his career.

"It's a great achievement. There's not a lot of players that reached that milestone," Zverev said.

"Of course I still want 500 more hopefully to come, and maybe even more.

"When you start your career, you wish to play on tour, you wish to have a successful career, win as many matches as possible."

Former world number one Daniil Medvedev was knocked out by defending champion Alexei Popyrin.

The Australian overcame the Russian 10th seed with a 5-7 6-4 6-4 victory to book a tie with fifth seed Holger Rune in the next round.

"I felt like I should have won that first set," said Popyrin, who led Medvedev 4-2 before losing the opening set.

"I was in the driver's seat, I felt like I was really comfortable out there, and then something happened.

"I kind of let go and I started feeling my shots a little bit. When that happens, when you play a fast pace against him, he starts feeling the ball a little bit more."

Third seed Lorenzo Musetti crashed out of the tournament after the Italian was beaten 3-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-4 by 26th seed Alex Michelsen of the United States in the third round.

Michelsen's win sets up an all-American clash in the fourth round where he could face either Learner Tien or Reilly Opelka.

Eighth seed Casper Ruud also reached the fourth round with a 7-6 6-4 win against Nuno Borges and will face 11th seed Karen Khachanov, who overcame Emilio Nava 6-7 6-4 6-1.

Argentina's Francisco Cerundolo got the better of compatriot Tomas Martin Etcheverry in straight sets and will face either top seed Alexander Zverev or Matteo Arnaldi in the next stage.
