Four Canadians take to the courts in the season's latest WTA 1000 event as Bianca Andreescu, Leylah Annie Fernandez, Genie Bouchard and Rebecca Marino are all in the main draw of the 2022 Guadalajara Open Akron in Mexico.
All four women were in action last week, with three (Andreescu, Fernandez and Marino) participating in the San Diego Open. Andreescu progressed the furthest in that tournament, making it to the round of 16 before being beaten in three sets by American teenager Coco Gauff.
Currently ranked 59th in the world, Andreescu's journey back up the ladder of women's tennis runs through Guadalajara, as the former world No. 4 has shown flashes of the dominance that catapulted her to the top of the tennis world in 2019 before injuries and a mental health break forced her to the sidelines for an extended period.
While Andreescu commands headlines, the current highest-ranked Canadian is 20-year-old Fernandez. The Montreal native is has dropped to 41st in the world after reaching her career high (13th) in August. She continues to be a threat despite playing an inconsistent schedule this season.
The other two Canadians, Genie Bouchard and Rebecca Marino, are 430th and 80th, respectively. Bouchard received a Wild Card entry into the main draw, while Marino successfully navigated the qualifiers by defeating Sachia Vickery and Elvina Kalieva.
