–

With Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek in the same half, it’s Coco Gauff who comes out the better in the other half of the draw – assuming she picks up her level from Montreal.

For Sabalenka, her first match since Wimbledon, and a tricky one. But she came through well.

On the Canadian side, Leylah Fernandez tried to get some momentum going after her brief Montreal stay,. But couldn’t do it. And the doubles team of Dabrowski and Routliffe also will tried to get on the winning track. And after going down 0-5 at the get-go, they did.
