FLUSHING MEADOWS, NY – The Canadians are all out singles. But at least there’s women’s doubles to try to save the (Canadian) bacon, eh?

And Leylah Fernandez and Taylor Townsend, who didn’t play much together this summer at all, were in the lineup and hopefully haven’t lost any of their doubles magic together although they had a pretty sweet first-round draw.

The mixed doubles also is getting under way.
