National Bank Open: Key Matches and Players to Watch on Sunday
The National Bank Open in Toronto features exciting matchups on Sunday, highlighted by Leylah Fernandez facing Naomi Osaka. After a series of upsets on Saturday, including the elimination of top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka and third-seeded Jessica Pegula, Fernandez, the last Canadian player in the tournament, seeks to keep the title at home.
Fernandez, who is seeded 30th, began her campaign with a bye and then won against Renata Zarazúa before defeating fifth-seeded Mirra Andreeva in straight sets. She is set to compete against Osaka in the evening session. Meanwhile, Alex Eala, the 25th seed, will also be in action against 12th-seeded Belinda Bencic, drawing significant local support.
In the men's tournament, Ben Shelton, the highest-seeded player remaining, will face Joao Fonseca in the Round of 16. Shelton aims to replicate his previous success at the National Bank Open, where he won the title last year.
