Canadian players Bianca Andreescu, Leylah Fernandez and Rebecca Marino will participate in the upcoming National Bank Open, new tournament director Valerie Tetreault announced Thursday.
The three players were given wild-card entries into the WTA 1000 event, which takes place from Aug. 4-13 in Montreal.
The 83rd-ranked Marino will try to replicate her best performance in Montreal after reaching the third round of the tournament in 2021. “When you look at the rankings, the situation didn't evolve in the right direction compared to where we were at the beginning of tournament planning in January and February,” said Tetreault during a press conference.
Tennis Canada is expected to announce the list of players participating in the qualifying rounds next week.The top 20 includes what Tetreault called the beginning of a women's “Big Three,” composed of Polish player Iga Swiatek, the world No. 1 since April 2022, No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka and No. 3 Elena Rybakina. The three players have won a total of six Grand Slam titles, including four for Swiatek.
