Canada's Fernandez draws into same bracket as world No. 1 Swiatek at National Bank Open

When Leylah Fernandez's name was drawn into the same bracket as world No. 1 Iga Swiatek for the upcoming National Bank Open a mischievous smile played across the top-seeded Canadian's face.

"Hi," said Fernandez on Friday, getting laughs from the crowd assembled on the observation deck of the CN Tower for the WTA event's draw ceremony.

The women's side of the National Bank Open will be held at Toronto's Sobeys Stadium starting with Saturday's qualifying round.

Fernandez will face a qualifier in the tournament's first round on Monday, while Swiatek has a bye thanks to her high seeding. The 13th seeded Fernandez hasn't played since sustaining a right foot injury in the quarterfinals of the French Open.
