CanadianCarol Zhao has qualified for the Rogers Cup women's main draw after
an upset victory over Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu.
The

75-ranked Begu 6-4, 6-4 in the final round of qualifying.
It's
the first time Zhao has reached the Rogers Cup main draw, where she
will play Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the first round.
Ottawa's
Gabriela Dabrowski, meanwhile, will not be joining Zhao. She was
ousted by Israel's Julia Glushko 6-4, 6-3.
World
No. 40 Madison Keys was forced to withdraw from her second-round
qualifying match Sunday due to a shoulder injury, allowing world No.
127 Anastasia Rodionova of Australia to advance into the main draw.
American
Lauren Davis also advanced after upsetting top-seeded Svetlana
Kuznetsova 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.
World
No. 27 Kuznetsova will still have a place in the main draw though due
to Nadia Petrova's withdrawal on Saturday. The highest-ranked player
to lose on Sunday was given the lucky loser position to fill the last
spot in the main draw.
Kuznetsova
and Davis will play each other again in the first round of the main
draw.
