Overview
- The Australian Open champion broke serve early in both sets to win 6-2, 6-1 and move into the third round
- Siegemund had spent 3 hours 26 minutes beating Tatjana Maria in the opening round, marking the second longest match at a WTA-1000 event this year
- As the No. 6 seed, Keys exhibited the power and consistency that made her a favourite for the US Open warm-up tournament
- Siegemund’s grass-court slice game and a visibly bandaged thigh yielded little effect on Montreal’s hard courts, leading to a swift defeat
- Eva Lys now carries the German flag alone and will face Anastassija Pavlyuchenkova in the second round
