“I think, obviously, getting a win against her
after losing to her in Wimbledon a couple of weeks ago is,
obviously, nice, because I was not feeling great in that match,
and I felt like I was playing some good tennis in Wimbledon,”
Tauson said. “So I felt like if I could keep that going, I
thought I had a shot.”
Tauson won her lone tour title in New Zealand in January,
beating fellow Montreal quarterfinalist Naomi Osaka of Japan in
the final.
Keys outlasted 11th-seeded Karolina Muchova of Czechia 4-6, 6-3,
7-5 in the windy afternoon session.
"Clara’s a fantastic ball-striker,” Keys said about the
quarterfinal match. “She’s got a big serve. She’s got a lot of
power on both sides. She covers the court quite well on top of
everything, so I feel like she’s one of those matches where you
kind of have to temper a little bit and not go for things too
quickly.”
Osaka also advanced in the afternoon, routing Anastasija
Sevastova of Latvia 6-1, 6-0 in 49 minutes — the second-fastest
victory of her career. Osaka had a 42-minute victory in a 2016
event in Brazil.
Osaka reached the final eight of a WTA 1000 or Grand Slam event
for the first time in 19 months. On Tuesday, she will face
10th-seeded Elina Svitolina of Ukraine, a 6-4, 6-1 winner over
fifth-seed Amanda Anisimova of the United States.
On Monday night in the quarterfinals, 18-year-old Canadian
Victoria Mboko will face Jessica Bouzas Maneiro of Spain, and
Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine will meet ninth-seeded Elena Rybakina
of Kazakhstan.
