Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Four Canadians on the stadium court in Montreal on Sunday, as the Omnium Banque Nationale gets under way.

There was drama. There were tears. But except for Marina Stakusic, who has been out since Roland Garros with a wrist issue, everyone prevailed.

Just 13 singles matches in all. Which makes you think they might be holding a few first-rounders over to Tuesday. Which means Leylah Fernandez catches a break and gets an extra day of rest.

Fernandez wins the Citi Openl after a week that gives you flashbacks to her 2021 US Open run. Impressive fight.

(Washington, D.C. and Montreal are on EDT)
