Swiatek Powers Through Toronto Opener: Follow the Live Results

A couple of former Grand Slam champions headline the Centre Court sessions, including the World No. 1 who will kick things off under the lights in the night session.

Follow the results here:

CENTRE COURT - starts at 12:30 PM

• [7] Iga Swiatek (POL) d. Sara Bejlek (CZE) 6-0, 6-3
  • The bakery is open! Swiatek was dialled in to start her Toronto campaign, delivering a first-set bagel as part of a nine-game run to open her tournament. Bejlek would rally in the second set, recovering one break and having nine break-point chances to draw level at 3-3 in a wild 22-minute, 13-deuce Swiatek service game. But the Pole escaped that game and did not give the Czech another chance, breaking to wrap up the win.
• [10] Marta Kostyuk (UKR) d. [WC] Katherine Sebov (CAN) 7-6(4), 6-0
  • Kostyuk survived the opening set despite a disastrous serving display where she only put 30 per cent of her first serves in play and double-faulted seven times leading to three breaks before finding her rhythm in the second, ending Sebov's hometown run.

Not before 7:00 PM 

• [1] Aryna Sabalenka vs [Q] Moyuka Uchijima (JPN) 
• [27] Clara Tauson (DEN) vs Nikola Bartunkova (CZE)
• [8] Amanda Anisimova (USA) d. [Q] Lanlana Tararudee (THA) Walkover 

GRANDSTAND - starts at 11:00 AM

• [9] Elina Svitolina (UKR) vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro (ESP) 6-7(5), 7-6(4), 6-4
  • The 2017 Toronto champ struggled mightily early, dropping serve four times in the first set. She was effective enough on return to force a breaker, but lost it and then was broken again early to fall behind 3-1 in the second. However, she turned things around, breaking back and sneaking out that set in a tiebreak. Svitolina then raced out to a 5-0 lead in the decider, but nearly blew the lead as Bouzas Maneiro recovered both breaks. Despite failing to close it out twice on her own serve, Svitolina still escaped with the win, breaking when the Spaniard served to draw level in the 10th game.
• [Q] Rebecca Sramkova (SVK) vs [15] Diana Shnaider 
• Antonia Ruzic (CRO) vs [19] Madison Keys (USA) 

Not before 5:00 PM 

• [17] Anna Kalinskaya vs McCartney Kessler (USA) 

COURT 1 - starts at 12:30 PM

• [16] Ekaterina Alexandrova d. Camila Osorio (COL) 6-3, 7-6(4)
  • Inability to hold a lead cost Osorio in this one. The Colombian broke early to take a 3-0 lead, only to lose eight games in a row to lose the set and go down a break in the second. She turned the tables and served for the second set at 5-4, but was broken and ended up losing it in a tiebreak. 
• [18] Maja Chwalinska (POL) vs Talia Gibson (AUS) 
• Shuai Zhang (CHN) vs [26] Jelena Ostapenko (LAT) 
• Kamilla Rakhimova (UZB) vs [32] Katerina Siniakova (CZE)

COURT 4 - starts at 12:30 PM

• [31] Donna Vekic (CRO) vs Viktorija Golubic (SUI) 5-7, 6-2, 6-3
  • Golubic let the first set slip away, getting broken back immediately on two separate occasions before Vekic broke for a third time late, but she cleaned things up in the second and third sets. The Swiss broke five times over the final two sets while only dropping her own serve once. That did come when she served for the match in the third, but she immediately broke Vekic back as the Croatian served to stay in it. 
• Elena-Gabriela Ruse (ROU) vs [24] Anastasia Potapova (AUT)
