Tereza Valentova Continues Her Resurgence
Tereza Valentova has regained her confidence with a series of encouraging results in recent weeks, reaching the quarterfinals in Eastbourne and Athens, along with the semifinals in Prague.
Those performances highlight her improvement after a difficult spell in the middle of the season. Before the grass swing, she had not registered multiple main-draw wins on tour since January.
Valentova has played five WTA 1000 main draws this season and recorded at least one main-draw win in three of them. She will now look to continue that trend on her Toronto debut.

Taylor Townsend Hopes to End Recent Struggles
Taylor Townsend has played only a limited singles schedule this season and has failed to win a main-draw match in each of her last three tournaments. She will be looking for her first tour-level victory since Rome earlier this year.
Overall, Townsend has competed in just nine singles events in 2026. Her best results include a runner-up finish in Austin and a third-round appearance in Rome.
Last year, Townsend played three tournaments during the North American hard-court swing and won at least two matches at each event. She will be hoping to repeat that success this season.
This is only her second Canadian Open main-draw appearance. Her only previous appearance came in Toronto in 2024, where she enjoyed an impressive run to the quarterfinals.
