Bencic Knocks Out Bronzetti
World no. 13 Belinda Bencic moved into the second round of the Canadian Open with a straight sets win over Italy’s Lucia Bronzetti on Monday.
Broken once in the match, Bencic held 19 break points against the world no. 69 and she capitalised on four of those chances to complete a 6-2, 6-3 victory in an hour and 35 minutes.
With the win, Bencic moved into the second round in Canada for the fourth time in what is her fourth appearance. She was a champion on her Canadian Open debut in 2015, but lost in the third round in 2019 and in the quarterfinals in 2022.
The Swiss, who was a quarterfinalist in Washington last week, is 26-9 across levels and 19-6 on hard courts. She has already featured in three finals, winning the titles in Adelaide-2 and Abu Dhabi and finishing runner-up in Charleston.
Can she make another deep run in Montreal?

Parks Sees Off Davis in Three
World no. 47 Alycia Parks served 15 aces during a three-set win over world no. 50 Lauren Davis in the first round in Montreal.
Parks, who has come through the qualifiers, needed two hours and 32 minutes to beat Davis 7-5, 4-6, 6-2.
Parks served 15 aces, won 74% points on her first serve, saved 8 of 12 break points and converted 6 of 20 to move into the second round in her first ever Canadian Open appearances.
The 22-year-old American had made it to the main draw with a comeback win over Canada’s Marina Stakusic in the first qualifying round and a straight sets drubbing of Spain’s Cristina Bucșa in the second qualifying round on Sunday.
Parks shot to fame earlier this year in Lyon, where she won her maiden title by beating Caroline Garcia in the final.
Since the title success, she has had just two notable performances and they were a run to the quarterfinals in Rabat and the third round in Madrid.
Parks is off to a good start in Montreal. Can she build on it?
Bencic v Parks Prediction and Tip
Bencic has been far more consistent than Parks this year. She is also the superior player. Parks won’t make it easy, but the Swiss should eventually move into the third round.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Bencic to win: 1/2
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 24.5 games in the match: 5/6
