National Bank Open reaches the round of sixteen

Both Canadian National Bank Open draws are at the round of sixteen, with near-even picks and clear favourites on the cards.

Both draws are into the round of sixteen, and the day's schedule is led by a series of matches the model rates as close or one-sided in clear directions.

Coverage varies by region. In the United States, Tennis Channel and the Tennis Channel app carry both events. In the UK, Sky Sports Tennis is the home, with streaming on NOW and Sky Go.

The standout singles match of the day is the near-even Montreal meeting between J. Fonseca and B. Shelton, with the WTA draw offering a strong favourite in E. Rybakina.
