–
Lots of Canadian content in Granby (on the men’s side as well, in the Challenger), with the popcorn match between Rebecca Marino and 15-year-old countrywoman Victoria Mboko.
That’s the 6:30 p.m. match under the lights, and the veteran took it.
No. 1 seed and top-10 player Daria Kasatkina was among the others in Granby who should see action. And she also got through.
