Bianca Andreescu, a home favourite, defeated Frenchwoman Alize Cornet 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 to get to the third round.
Andreescu's year has not been great, especially in Grand Slams, as the Canadian lost in the second round of Wimbledon and Roland Garros. She returned to the WTA tour earlier this month in Stuttgart after being sidelined since October 2021.
The 2019 US Open winner did, however, go to the WTA 250 Bad Homburg Open final, where Caroline Garcia defeated her.
Qinwen Zheng
The fifth seed Ons Jabeur was defeated by world No. 51 Zheng in a walkover match 6-1, 2-1. Due to the Tunisian's forced retirement due to stomach discomfort, Zheng was able to go to Toronto's third round.
The 19-year-old advanced to the fourth round of Roland Garros and the third round of Wimbledon earlier this year before falling to eventual winner Iga Swiatek in three sets.
Head-to-Head
Zheng and Andreescu have not yet met in person, hence their head-to-head record is 0-0.
Expert Betting Tips
The Chinese native is a dangerous opponent for Andreescu, who hasn't been particularly consistent and has had a lot of injury issues because of the way her style looks to be more suited to hardcourts. Zheng will probably make it to the quarterfinals in Toronto if she gets out to a great start and maintains her composure.
- Total Under 22.5 for 1.83
