Maria Sakkari (WTA 72)
🔄 Washington revival: Reached the QF in Washington D.C. for her first major run since January, beating Boulter and Navarro before falling to Raducanu.
🎢 Up-and-down season: Battling to stay inside the Top 100 amid streaky results, with just 7 wins on hard courts this year.
📈 Montreal track record: 3 wins in 5 appearances—capable but far from dominant at this venue.
Carson Branstine (WTA 191)
🎾 Breakthrough moments: Secured her first WTA main-draw win and Wimbledon qualifying berth, plus a 125K Cancun title and W50 final this season.
🇨🇦 Wildcard spark: Eager to showcase her home-court talent after four failed qualifying attempts here.
💪 Recent form: 12–3 on hard courts this year—but mostly at ITF/WTA 125K level, needs to step up.

❌ Inconsistency on hard: hasn’t won back-to-back matches this season outside clay, and needed a 6–3, 6–4 win over Boulter despite double-break leads in both sets.
💪 Washington pedigree: 2023 finalist, thrives on home crowd support when clicking.
⚠️ Confidence dented: only one QF since April 2024 (Linz, via bye), and 6–10 on hard in 2025.

🚀 Debut with bye as No. 2 seed; strong grass swing (QF Queen’s, Bad Homburg; 4R Wimbledon).
🎾 Grand Slam pedigree: three straight major QFs from 2024 Wimbledon–2025 AO.
📉 Cooling off: failed to win two matches in a row from Stuttgart to Berlin, but sits at 11–7 on hard this year.
