Fernandez Searches for Momentum after Injury
Leylah Fernandez will be playing in her first tournament for over two months. Her last outing was a quarterfinals defeat at this year’s French Open to Martina Trevisan.
It was a match that eventually cost Fernandez the entire grass-court season due to a stress fracture she suffered and which worsened by playing in Paris. The World No. 13 picked up a valuable learning experience – to listen to her body a bit better in order to prevent aggravating more injuries.
Fernandez is Canada’s top-ranked woman and will be the star attraction in Toronto for the home supporters. Truth be told, the 19-year-old has endured a frustrating time on tour in 2022.
Aside from her title triumph in Monterrey and the aforementioned last eight showing at Roland Garros, Fernandez only won back-to-back matches in one tournament – at Indian Wells where she made the Round of 16.

Sanders Stuns Davis
Storm Sanders booked her spot in the main draw of the Canadian Open after stunning American Lauren Davis in three sets. It is the second week in a row Sanders has successfully qualified for the main draw of WTA tour-level event.
Sanders, who took out Catherine Harrison in her first round of qualifying, was efficient on her second serve. She saved seven out of 10 break points and recovered from going behind in the third set, winning four games on the trot from 2-3 down.
The Aussie has not won a main draw match this year, the closest she came was in the opening week of the season when she pushed Elena Rybakina to three sets in her home tournament in Adelaide. Besides that, she has a 14-14 record across all levels coming to Toronto.
Will she upset the much-fancied Fernandez?
Fernandez v Sanders Prediction and Tip
As dangerous as this tie looks on paper, it is pertinent to note that Sanders has not won a main draw match at tour-level this season. And I cannot see that stat changing on Monday.
