Men's & Women's Singles play begins at the 2017 Canadian Racquetball Championships

The Canadian Racquetball Championships switched to singles divisions Wednesday in Brossard, Québec, but there were few upsets, as the top eight seeds made the quarterfinals in Men's Singles and seven of the top eight did so in Women's Singles. The exception was 7th seed Catherine Foisy, who lost to 10th seed Erin Geeraert, 15-11, 15-4. Geeraert will play 2nd seed and defending champion Jennifer Saunders in the quarterfinals on Thursday.

On the men's side, both defending champion and top seed Mike Green and 2nd seed Samuel Murray won their Round of 16 matches decisively. Green beat Jeremy Renaud, 15-2, 15-5, and Murray defeated Dylan Scattolon, 15-0, 15-3.

The singles competitions continue Thursday and will conclude Saturday.
