After the Tokyo Olympics, many tennis players decided to adjust their starting plans. Canada has not flown to, among others Iga Shwetek, Ashleigh Barty, Naomi Osaka and Sophia Kenin. Only Magda Lynette will perform the role of the Polish women in Montreal, who occupy a certain place in the main staircase.
On Saturday, a tennis player from Poznan met her first competitor. Nadia Podroska, who reached the semi-finals at Roland Garrosa 2020, will stand her way in the first round. Let us remind you that the Argentine lost in the fall in Paris to Iga Świątek, who then won his first Grand Slam tournament.
Linette finished in the third quarter of the championship bracket. If he beat Podrowska, he will face either Italian Camila Giorgi or Belgian Elise Mertens. The latter will compete on Saturday for the WTA 500 final in San Jose. At the next stage, the Polish woman Petra Kvitova, and in the possible quarter-finals, the bronze medalist of the Tokyo Olympics, that is Ukrainian Elina Suitolina, may await.

In the lower half, the highest-ranked tennis player is Bianca Andreescu, who is defending the title. The Canadian won the National Championship in 2019 (the 2020 season was not played due to the COVID-19 pandemic) when the tournament was held in Toronto. Now she faces a difficult task in Montreal. Her first competition will be qualifier or fellow countrywoman Leila Annie Fernandez. Roman Simona Halep was also present in his quarter.
The highest ranked entry in the 2021 National Bank Open competition is Aryna Sabalenka. In a quarter of Belarus there is, among other things, her compatriot Victoria Azarenka. In the second quarter, it witnessed a slight decline. In the second quarter, there was the Czech Karolina Pliskova, the Spanish Garbine Muguruza and the silver medalist at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Kazaska Jelena Rybakina.
Competition in the main category of the WTA 1000 Championships will begin in Montreal on Monday. Lynette will play in Canada for the fifth time. In 2015, 2017, and 2019, he was unsuccessful in elimination. In the 2016 season, she qualified for the main class, but lost to Petra Kvitova in the first stage.
