Hot off the heels of the National Bank Open (Montreal and Toronto, Canada) we're into the 2nd month of the North American Swing leading to the USO at the end of August.  I'm sure we'll see some withdrawals since we had an unexpected - but worthy - final four in both Montreal and Toronto.  

Congratulations to this week's champions:

NBO Montreal 

Singles Champion: Pablo Carreno Busta d. Hubert Hurkacz

Doubles Champions: W. Koolhof/N. Skupski d. D. Evans/J. Peers

NBO Toronto

Singles Champion: SIMONA HALEP (d. Beatriz Haddad Maia)

Doubles Champions: Cori Gauff/Jessica Pegula d. N. Melichar Martinez/E. Perez

"When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Cincinnati because it's always twenty years behind the times." ~ Mark Twain (debatable but it's stuck with Cincinnati)!

Hopefully, it's not too hot or humid this coming week, since the players had little rest from Canada but not far to travel. Perhaps, too, there's more stamina in the top seeds in Cincinnati since most on both tours got rest they didn't expect with their early knockouts north of the border. In any event, it'll be another grueling week with a small breather before the USO.
