MONTREAL (AP) — Bianca Andreescu tumbled out of the National Bank Open on Thursday night, hours after fellow Canadian Rebecca Marino’s surprising run ended. Ons Jabeur of Tunisia beat the second-seeded Andreescu 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-1 in a match interrupted by rain for about an hour in the second set. The 13th-seeded Jabeur will face American Jessica Pegula in the quarterfinals. In June in Birmingham, England, the 26-year-old Jabeur won the Viking Classic to become the first Arab player to win a WTA Tour singles. Top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus beat Marino 6-1, 6-3. Pegula beat fellow American Danielle Collins 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 in a match that ended at 1:35 a.m. Collins won in Palermo and San Jose the last two weeks for her first tour titles.
