  "account": "Montreal - Canada's beach volleyball duo of Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson advanced to the quarterfinals of the Montreal Elite pro tour event on Friday. The pair defeated Brazil's Thamela Coradello and Victoria Lopes with a score of 21-13, 21-18. The Olympic silver medallists from Toronto are currently leading Pool A with a perfect record of 3-0. Wilkerson attributed their victory to their strong defensive play and effective communication on court. The Canadian pair will face off against Mississauga's Lea Monkhouse and Marie-Alex Bélanger, who lost both of their matches to end the weekend at 0-3. In men's play, Sam Schachter and Jonny Pickett of Canada fell to Brazil's André Loyola Stein and Renato Lima with a 21-13, 23-21 scoreline. The Canadians will advance to the playoffs at 1-2 despite the loss. Play will continue through Sunday at Parc Jean-Drapeau.",
