First day of main-draw play on the women’s side, and there were two Canadians in action.

2019 champion Bianca Andreescu got the early night-session match on the big stadium (night matches are not coveted spots in the desert, as it’s cold and the crowds are better during the day, but it was the big court. Unfortunately, it was another loss

Marina Stakusic opened play on Stadium 9, at the completely opposite side of the site. She was in good position to post a win over Anastasia Potapova. But she just couldn’t close the deal.
