THE PREDICTION

World number 59 Sloane Stephens is riding a four-match losing streak into Toronto since a huge run to the quarter-finals of Roland-Garros were ended by Coco Gauff. The former world number three claimed the seventh WTA title of her career at the Guadalajara Open back in February but her intermittent, occasionally world-beating form his as hard to predict as ever. The conditions should suit the American at the Canada Masters and the draw looks kind at this moment in time, with former world number five Sofia Kenin still seeking her previous level. The 23-year-old won the Australian Open in 2020, making both players here Grand Slam champions, but she has struggled with consistent performances almost ever since losing to Iga Swiatek in the final of Roland-Garros later that year. It should not be long before Kenin rediscovers her tennis but this first meeting looks like edging Stephens’ way. Take the 29-year-old to win outright here but leave this match well away from an accumulator.
