Alex Eala needed only one tournament to outgrow the Canadian Open’s second-largest stadium. Fernandez, whom Eala defeated during her championship run in Washington, will face Renata Zarazua before Eala takes the court. That makes an Eala start around 9 p.m. possible, although the exact time will depend on the length of the preceding match. The 21-year-old defeated Olympic gold medalist Zheng Qinwen, Fernandez, Elina Svitolina, Naomi Osaka and Jessica Pegula to capture her first WTA title in Washington. “I have, I guess, all my life to celebrate my first WTA title,” Eala said.
