Pavan and McBain had a more complicated day, but also managed to advance in third place in Pool C, where they competed against three American duos. The Canadians dropped their first match to Betsi Flint and Julia Scoles in two sets (17-21, 19-21), but delivered when it mattered against Sarah Sponcil and Terese Cannon, pulling off a two-set (23-21, 21-19) victory to progress.
Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss were the top team in the pool. The two followed up on a Thursday win over Pavan and McBain with a pair of triumphs against their compatriots, beating Cannon and Sponcil 21-17, 21-12 and Scoles and Flint 21-8, 21-18 to dominate the pool.
Pool A had just two matches on the last day of pool play in Montréal and world champions Eduarda ‘Duda’ Lisboa and Ana Patrícia Ramos continued unstoppable. After securing two wins on Thursday, the Brazilians got another one on Friday, beating Poland’s Jagoda Gruszczynska and Aleksandra Wachowicz in the tie-breaker (19-21, 24-22, 15-12).
