The top-five pair of Aryna Sabalenka and Canadian Bianca Andreescu will hold down the anchor positions when the WTA Montreal Masters begins on Monday.

Wimbledon semi-finalist Sabalenka, a winner at Abu Dhabi and Madrid this season, takes the top seeding as she tries to recover following a Tokyo Olympic second-round loss to Donna Vekic.

Andreescu, who won the US Open two years ago at the expense of Serena Williams before skipping the entire 2020 season with injury, plays for local pride as second seed.

The Canada WTA return from a Covid-19 pandemic shutdown in 2020 will lack four members of the world top 10.
