Williams is competing at the Canadian Open for the first time in three years. Her last appearance was in 2019 when she finished runner-up, retiring in the first set against Bianca Andreescu in the final.
The 40-year-old has a terrific record at the Canadian Open, winning the event three times in her career (2001, 2011, 2013).
Belinda Bencic, on the other hand, is making her third appearance in Toronto. She secured her place in the second round with a comprehensive win against Tereza Martincova, 6-4, 6-2.
Gee I wonder why Belinda Bencic would still be on court 45 minutes after winning her opening round match 6-4, 6-2 at the @NBOtoronto vs Tereza Martincova and practicing her return of serve???
