Bianca Andreescu defeated Barbora Krejčíková 6–3, 6–4 in the first round of the WTA 1000 Montreal tournament on hard court. Andreescu, the pre-match favourite at 1.68 odds, converted her status into a decisive victory, controlling both sets with consistent play. Krejčíková, despite entering as the outsider at 2.3 odds, could not mount sufficient resistance on the surface. The Canadian's composed performance in the early rounds suggests solid form heading into the competition's deeper stages.
