When Elise Mertens competed in Washington, D.C., she encountered no improvement as she fell to eventual champion Liudmila Samsonova in the opening round, dropping the match 7-6, 6-4. (led the first set by 5-3). She has already finished seven out of her previous 13 campaigns in the first hurdle, and her ranking is dropping. Since the Belgian’s downturn started more than a year ago, he has only managed to produce three quarterfinal-caliber performances in his last 22 appearances. She is anticipating her fourth appearance at the National Bank Open and second in Toronto, where she finished the 2019 tournament in the second round.
Anna Bondar chose to return to clay after a 0-2 swing on the grass court. She continued to excel on the dirt, reaching the semifinals of the 125K Contrexeville and Budapest competitions and the quarterfinals of the Palermo race, but she was eliminated by Kristina Mladenovic in the first round of the Warsaw race (wasted six match points). She rose from being ranked 275th in January 2021 to making her top 50 debut last month thanks to a flurry of clay-court performances, including two WTA semifinals. As she currently strives for her first completed main draw victory at the 1000 level, the Hungarian typically finds it more difficult in hard-court competitions.
Elise Mertens and Anna Bondar are scheduled to face one another in the round of 64 of the 2022 Canadian Open on Tuesday, August 9. The tournament is scheduled to run from August 8 till August 15.
The 2022 edition of the Canadian Open is set to begin from August 8 and go on until August 15. The men’s final is scheduled to be on August 15 and the women’s one is set to be held on August 14. There will be six rounds of play in the main draw excluding the qualifiers.
