Korda through to last eight as Ruud withdraws with injury
American Sebastian Korda reached the last eight of the Montreal Masters after Norwegian Casper Ruud, the No 6 seed, withdrew before the match at Stade IGA.
Korda, ranked No 18, will face the winner of the match between Dane Holger Rune, the No 13 seed, and German Alexander Zverev, the second seed, next.
