Tennis: American qualifier Lauren Davis, Czech qualifier Tereza Martincova, French teenager Oceane Dodin and America's Julia Boserup reached the semifinals of the Coupe Banque Nationale WTA Tournament in Quebec City, Canada.

Davis faced Russia's Alla Kudryavtseva, who had knocked out the top seed Eugenie Bouchard in the second round.
