With less than a week to go until the 2022 National Bank Open, formerly known as the Roger’s Cup, several players are in contention to be crowned at this tournament. This is one of the oldest tennis tournaments in history and, as a curious fact, it is one of the few tournaments on the WTA Tour that is aiming to be sustainable.
The list of players who will compete in the cup has been announced. That’s why today, at JefeBet, we bring you a list of three sleepers who can be the winners in this edition of the 2022 National Bank Open. Read who they are below.
Predictions and sleeper picks for the 2022 National Bank Open of Toronto at the WTA
Elena Rybakina (Odds 15/1)
Elena Rybakina is the reigning Wimbledon champion and was crowned just a month ago. She is 25th on the list of 56 players entering the tournament. Although she has not played any tournament since Wimbledon, she is a surprising player, she is aggressive and her game is difficult to control.
She aims constantly for flat and strong shots, but also for effects that can be unsettling: an unexpected drop shot or an unannounced lob.
Alizé Cornet (Odds 20/1)
The French Alizé Cornet is our first pick, as she was the one who a few weeks ago was able to stop the historical streak of the number 1, Iga Swiatek, in the fourth round of Wimbledon.
Her game is characterized by constantly changing the pace of the game through slices and drop shots. For this reason, she may be one of the players who will make the most progress in this tournament and perhaps win it. She makes her opponents uncomfortable and puts them in difficult situations to solve.
Bianca Andreescu (Odds 40/1)
Finally, we have the local Bianca Andreescu. She is ranked No. 54 in the world and was a finalist just over a month ago in Bad Homburg, Germany. She also had a remarkable performance in Rome, reaching the quarterfinals. As a result, she has a decent potential of being a surprise player at the 2022 WTA National Bank Open, in addition to being a local.
