Two-time defending champion Jessica Pegula upset by Sevastova in 3rd round in Montreal
Sevastova, a 35-year-old from Latvia who was ranked 11th in 2018 but has fallen to No. 386, broke the third-seeded Pegula six times on 10 chances.
The loss continued a poor run for the fourth-ranked Pegula, who won her opener in Montreal over Maria Sakkari of Greece, but exited Wimbledon and the D.C. Open after one match in July.
Sevastova will take on Naomi Osaka, who moved to the fourth round with a 6-2, 6-4 win over 22nd-seeded Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia.
Osaka, a former No. 1-ranked player from Japan, hit five aces and converted 6-of-9 break point opportunities to win the match in 1 hour, 12 minutes.
In other daytime results, 16th-seeded Clara Tauson of Denmark rolled to a 6-3, 6-0 third-round victory over Ukraine's Yuliia Starodubtseva.
Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek, the tournament's No. 2 seed, headlined the night session. She was scheduled to face Eva Lys of Germany in third-round action.

Ademola Lookman requests transfer from Atalanta citing broken promises and poor treatment
BERGAMO, Italy (AP) — Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman has handed the club a formal transfer request, the player said Sunday. Lookman made the announcement with a statement posted on Instagram. The 27-year-old said the request was made 'after many months of broken promises and what I feel has been poor treatment towards me as both a human being and as a professional footballer. 'Sadly I feel I have no choice but to speak out for what I believe is right and I feel that enough is enough,' he said. He said in the statement that it had already been decided that it was the 'right time" for him "to move on and experience a new adventure.' He said he and the club ownership had been 'in agreement' that now was the right time for a transfer, and that the club agreed to let him leave if a fair offer was made. He said an offer did arrive but now the club was not sticking to its end of the agreement. 'Despite now receiving an offer in alignment to what I believe had been discussed, sadly the club are blocking the opportunity for reasons I do not understand,' he said. Lookman did not give other details about the offer. ___ AP soccer:
