Gaby Dabrowski comes into her home WTA event after winning Canada’s second-ever Olympic medal in tennis, while American Coco Gauff is the No. 1 seed in the singles draw as the tour shifts to Toronto.
The National Bank Open begins this week at Sobeys Stadium, and with a handful of players who were in action at the Olympics just days ago — though among the recent withdrawals from the field are the Olympic gold, silver and bronze medallists in women’s singles, which includes the world No. 1, Iga Swiatek.
