Bianca Andreescu vs Harriet Dart: Preview

Defending champion Bianca Andreescu will begin her Rogers Cup 2021 campaign in the 2nd round as she had a bye in the first round given her seeding. Bianca was in great form till the 2021 Miami Open where she had to retire in the finals due to an injury and her form has not been the same since. It would also be due to the change in surfaces as post Miami, the focus shifted to Clay and Grass.

Harriet Dart makes it to the 2nd round after a difficult beginning to her time in Canada. The Brit had to begin from the qualifying draws and defeated Americans Bernarda Pera and Christina Mchale in consecutive 3-setters to advance into the 1st round of the main-draw. In the 1st round, she defeated local girl Leylah Fernandez in straight-sets and now faces yet another Canadian in Round 2.

Bianca Andreescu vs Harriet Dart: Prediction

Dart comes into the tie with a career Hardcourt record of 138-89 and is 7-6 on the surface having gone 16-15 across all surfaces this season. Bianca on the other hand is 101-26 in her career on Hardcourt and is 9-3 on the surface for the season. She is 12-7 for the season across all surfaces.

Looking at these numbers and past records on Hardcourts, Bianca looks the favourite to advance ahead. The only thing that would worry Bianca is her lack of practice as Harriet comes into the tie from 3 matches already in the past week. Nevertheless, Bianca looks the favourite to win the tie.

Prediction: Bianca Andreescu to win in straight sets.
