Simona Halep knows how to win the Rogers Cup – now the National Bank Open.
And she had another opportunity to do so on Sunday in Toronto. And she did it.
Meanwhile, the final round of qualifying wraps up in Cincinnati, where Bianca Andreescu has pulled out at the last minute – after the draw, no less.
And Genie Bouchard played her first match since March, 2021 – in doubles with Canadian junior Kayla Cross. And the two pulled out a win – it was Cross’s first career win at the (close to) WTA level.
