There will be no tennis tonight in Toronto.<\/p>\n
The evening session of the National Bank Open presented by Rogers has been cancelled due to rain.<\/p>\n
The session was supposed to be headlined by a match between Canadian Bianca Andreescu and Nikola Bartunkova of Czechia. The players took the court shortly after 7 p.m. ET but returned to the locker rooms before playing a point. That match will now happen on Monday.<\/p>\n
Cadence Brace of Oakville, Ont., also saw her match against McCartney Kessler of the U.S. pushed to Monday.<\/p>\n
A couple of other wild-card hopefuls, meanwhile, got in on the action on home soil when the precipitation halted.<\/p>\n
Toronto’s Katherine Sebov topped Japanese qualifier Aoi Ito 6-3, 6-4, while Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro picked up a 6-2, 6-4 win over Ariana Arseneault of Richmond Hill, Ont.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seven-time grand slam champion Venus Williams also played on Sunday, losing to Kamilla Rakhimova of Uzbekistan, 6-4, 6-1<\/p>\n
Rain also severely impacted play for the men’s side in Montreal, with only two of 14 matches being completed before play was cancelled for the day.<\/p>\n
