Emma Raducanu crashes out in straight sets in Montreal
Wimbledon finalist Anisimova came from 40-15 down to break Raducanu's serve in the second game of the match and, although the British number one broke back immediately, she was unable to fashion another break point in the contest.
Anisimova broke again to make it 3-1 and added a third break to wrap up the set.
Her dominance continued in the second set as Raducanu won just eight points on her own serve, avoiding the whitewash after losing the first five games before Anisimova served out for a place in the fourth round.
She will face 10th seed Elina Svitolina or Anna Kalinskaya in the last 16.
Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek needed little more than an hour to complete a 6-2 6-2 victory over Germany's Eva Lys, but Jessica Pegula's bid for a third straight Montreal title was ended by world number 386 Anastasija Sevastova.
The Latvian, a former world number 11 who has had lengthy spells out on maternity leave and with a torn ACL, beat the third seed 3-6 6-4 6-1.

Gabriella Hill bringing historic link to Newmarket
She registered the third victory of her fledgling riding career when guiding Henry de Bromhead's Trubshaw to victory at Sligo on Wednesday, her first success in the famous silks once worn by Jonjo O'Neill when guiding the magnificent Dawn Run to victory in both the Champion Hurdle and Cheltenham Gold Cup in the 1980s. Hill's previous two winners had come for Jim Bolger and with her claim now reduced to 7lb, she will spread her wings by joining Stuart Williams on a trial basis in the heartland of British racing. Hill said: 'He's (Trubshaw) come on a lot in his last few runs and it's great to get a win in the family colours. Gabriella Hill after riding a winner for Jim Bolger (Brian Lawless/PA) 'I'm getting the boat over to Newmarket on Monday to join Stuart Williams. 'He has a good few horses and I'm looking forward to it.' Williams will be hoping Hill continues the promising start she has made to her career in Ireland and is looking forward to welcoming her to his Diomed Stables team. He added: 'She is going to come over for a trial for a couple of weeks and to see if she enjoys Newmarket and see how we get on together and then make a decision from there. 'She rode a winner on Wednesday night and hopefully she will enjoy being with us and stay for a while.'

Alan Sheehan says Swansea plan to build on buzz of Snoop Dogg becoming co-owner
The 53-year-old American rapper joined a growing list of celebrity investors in British football last month by becoming part of a Swansea ownership group that already included Croatia midfield great Luka Modric. Multi award-winning Snoop said Swansea's 'underdog' story 'really struck a chord with me' and his vast following on social media – 89 million on Instagram and 20.5 million on X – quickly learned about the Welsh club and his love for Joe's ice cream in the city. Swansea City is delighted to announce global rap superstar and multi-platinum selling artist @SnoopDogg has become the club's latest high-profile co-owner and investor. 👉 — Swansea City AFC (@SwansOfficial) July 17, 2025 'To have Snoop and Luka on board is a massive benefit,' Swansea boss Sheehan said ahead of Saturday's league opener at Middlesbrough. 'There is a buzz, obviously. As a football club you have to become more appealing commercially, to be more competitive, and appeal to the wider nation. 'It's different to how it was maybe when I was a player, but I understand why, and I totally welcome it. 'Rome wasn't built in a day, but there are big plans for the football club. 'It's about building strong foundations and building that character and resilience within the football club.' Comparisons with Wrexham, who are owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, are unavoidable and already being made. The two Welsh clubs are Championship rivals this season after Wrexham became the first team in the top five tiers of English football to win three successive promotions. A docu-series tracking life at Swansea, on similar lines to the award-winning FX show 'Welcome to Wrexham', is understood to be already in the pipeline. Asked if Swansea – who were relegated in 2018 after seven seasons in the Premier League – were the 'new' Wrexham, Sheehan said: 'No, we're Swansea. We're not new anything. 'Now they're in our division, I suppose, it becomes more there now (rivalry), but we don't play them until December. So I won't really be speaking about them until December.' Modric – who joined the board in April following a takeover led by American businessmen Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen six months earlier – was unveiled as an AC Milan player on Monday after his trophy-littered 13-year spell at Real Madrid ended this summer. The 39-year-old has played his part in Sheehan's summer recruitment strategy, actively persuading players to join the Welsh club. 'Obviously, his transfer situation… he was unavailable to come here,' smiled Sheehan. 'We've had a few text messages and he's involved. 'Luka has spoke to some players, passed on his knowledge, what he knows about the football club, and the plans that we have for it. 'Snoop and Luka are very invested in the club. They care, they speak through the ownership and the ownership are very good to us.' So will Grammy-nominated Snoop soon be swapping California for Swansea to watch a game? 'I believe so,' said Sheehan. 'But I'm not sure which game yet. It would be very naive and narrow-minded to think two very successful people in what they do could not help us. 'Successful people have a lot in common – a work ethic, a grit, a determination to get where they want to get to. So with Snoop, Luka and the ownership there is a lot of positivity around the football club.'
