MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

It’s fairly crazy when you have recent Prague champion Marie Bouzkova playing Wimbledon semifinalist Tatjana Maria in the qualifying in Toronto, while Kaia Kanepi and Liudmila Samsonova play in the final of a tournament in D.C.

But that’s kind of the nature of the days surrounding a 1000-level event.

Samsonova would have been in the qualifying in Toronto as the No. 3 seed. But of course she couldn’t make the date.

In Toronto, the lone Canadian, Marina Stakusic (gifted a victory in the first round when opponent Wang Xinyu retired after the first set) will try to make the main draw against Tereza Martincova.
