Arguably the pick of the opening matches is 2018 runner-up Sloane Stephens’ encounter with the returning Dayana Yastremska, who will be playing for the right to take on top seed Sabalenka • Montréal marks the return to action for Halep, who has not played since retiring from Rome in May with a calf injury. The Romanian will face either Danielle Collins or Jil Teichmann in the second round • In addition to Andreescu, the home contingent is bolstered by the presence of Leylah Fernandez, Rebecca Marino and Carol Zhao. Fernandez has been drawn with a qualifier in the first round and should she prevail then a showdown with Andreescu awaits • One to Watch – Danielle Collins. After missing much of the spring clay court season, Collins has been making up for lost time in recent months. Upon the Tour’s brief return to the terre battue in July, the American made the last eight in Hamburg, a semifinal run at Budapest and then capped it off with a maiden WTA title at Palermo. Success has followed on the other side of the Atlantic, too, another deep run, this time on home soil at San Jose, edging her closer to a return to the Top 30 TOP 4 SEEDS’ TOURNAMENT HISTORY* WIN PLAYER TOURNAMENT HISTORY W/L % 3r (1): 2018 (l.
