The tournament was canceled last season due to the global pandemic. However, this season fans are allowed to attend the matches, and stadiums are allowed full capacity audiences. It will be great to see fans at the stadiums as things were looking incomplete seeing the top stars compete against each other in empty stadiums.
Naomi Osaka has had a mixed season so far
Naomi Osaka began her season on a great note, winning the Australian Open for the second time. After that, she has had dismal performances and was dealing with mental issues during the French Open. She later pulled out of the event prior to the second-round match.

This time next week, there will be tennis in Toronto.
