Tennis returns to Canada and it arrives with a new name!
The National Bank Open (NBO), tennis' 2nd older tournament (behind Wimbledon) brings the ATP Tour to Toronto, while the WTA takes over Montreal.
The guys share some NBO memories, assess the draws and the chances of the eight Canadians in the draw, including Canadian wildcard Rebecca Marino.
All eyes are on Canada's top seeds Bianca Andreescu who arrives after 728 days (who's counting) as the defending champion, and Denis Shapovalov looking to relive and surpass the magic of his semi-final run in 2017. Felix, Vasek and Brayden Schnur cap off Canadian hopefuls on the men's side, with Carol Zhao and Aldwin & Jason's girl Leylah Annie Fernandez heading towards a potential second round encounter with Bibi.
Will Bianca regain her form on home turf ahead of the U.S. Open? Will Denis or Felix make a deep run? Or will it be another former semi-finalist Vasek Pospisil.
Either way, the guys look forward to make fools of themselves at the tournament this week, and are hoping for a Kyrgios-Nadal third round match!
