Misfiring world number two Aryna Sabalenka crashed out of the Canadian Open on Friday, falling 7-6 4-6 6-3 to Liudmila Samsonova in their rain-delayed round of 16 clash.
Samsonova got two breaks from six chances which helped the 15th-seeded Russian into the last eight where she meets Swiss Belinda Bencic, a 6-7 6-3 6-1 winner over seventh-seeded Czech Petra Kvitova in a clash of former champions.
