Main draw also out, and Emma has drawn Giorgi in R1, who is a bit like Samsonova. She's also technically the defending champion having surprisingly won in Montreal last year.

 Its the same event, it just moves venues so she is the defending champion !

It's the 'Canadian Open' (or National Bank) so she is defending that, and the 900 points it offers, but the different venue (and city), not to mention courts, surroundings etc. surely is a massive factor. I'm sure it will feel a lot different from her POV than going back to defend a Linz title or something. It's certainly not a traditional title defence.

 Yes but it is the same title and she is defending champion. Its like the open golf, it moves venue. It happens each year and has done for many many years. 

but I see the point youre making !

Yeah, fair point regarding the golf, and the majority of their majors, it obviously just doesn't happen often at all in tennis that it becomes more noticeable (and I don't really follow golf), but either way, obviously not the easiest opening round draw Emma could have had.

She is the highest seed in R1, so if there was a top 8 withdrawal (Muguruza withdrew from San Jose this week) she could get moved, and then get a bye, but best to assume it will be Raducanu vs Giorgi in R1 at this stage.

Heather retired according to the WTA website.
Harriet's score hasn't changed in the last 35 minutes, although the WTA website scores seem to be all over the place so I'm assuming technical problems rather than weather.

Tougher test for Harriet in the FQR against Tomljanovic who is seeded 7.

 So, do you have torn loyalties, Jaggy? 

Or is it a slamdunk ? smile
