Fernandez, 19, is Canada's top-ranked women's tennis player at No. 21 in the world. She is coming off a successful defence of her WTA Monterrey Open title on the weekend.

Eugenie Bouchard dominated the second round of the Rogers Cup Wednesday, while Françoise Abanda was knocked out of the tournament.
