Bencic all Warmed Up
Belinda Bencic, seeded 12 in the Canadian Open, is coming off a quarterfinal stint in the Citi Open last week. It wasn’t the most demanding of the tournaments, seeing she benefited from Anastasia Potapova’s early retirement in round one, followed by a 6-1, 6-4 win over Lauren Davis.
In the next match, however, the Swiss was handed a huge loss at the hands of Coco Gauff, losing 1-6, 2-6. Bencic’s service game was way off that day, averaging less than 50% wins behind first and second serves.
Nevertheless, the current World No. 15 has had a good year and looks well-primed to bag another title or two. She has three WTA finals in 2023 – the titles from Adelaide and Abu Dhabi and the runner-up trophy from Charleston.
Add to this her superb record in the Canadian Open – a champion in her 2015 debut and a quarterfinal last year, Bencic will certainly fancy her chances of another great edition.

Bronzetti in a Rut
Itay’s Lucia Bronzetti heads into the competition, having lost her last four matches. Considering all signs, she looks to be in store for her fifth one.
Three of those have come against outside-top-100 players – Erika Andreeva, Jaqueline Cristian, and Tamara Zidansek. Fun fact – Zidansek and Cristian were both ranked #133 when they respectively beat Bronzetti.
Lucia has racked up 20 wins whilst losing 21 this season; a majority of those victories came in the last three months.
The present world number 72 took home the title in Rabat and made it to the finals in Bad Homburg. Bronzetti enjoyed a similar stint in an ITF tournament in Croissy-Beaubourg. However, that feat was preceded by a 7-match losing streak from Jan-Mar.
Bencic v Bronzetti Prediction and Tip
This one is Bencic’s match to lose – especially considering the contrasting seasons the two players are coming off. Expect a routine win for the seeded star.
