–

The main draw begins in Toronto, where 2019 champion and Canadian Bianca Andreescu headlined the evening session.

And it was kind of a disaster in a truly beatable opponent, and she’s out in the first round

And there was plenty of action in doubles as the Fernandez sisters – Leylah and Bianca – team up and upset the No. 6 seeds. And another Canadian pair, Kupres and Arseneault, upset the No. 5 seeds.
