Welcome to Montreal, Canada! Last year saw Ana Ivanović taking the title in Toronto over French Tatiana Golovin, who has withdrawn due to injury. This year the field isn't supposed to make it easy for Ivanović with various contenders for the title, such as the usual suspects Jelena Janković and Elena Dementieva, the young guns Victoria Azarenka and Dominika Cibulkova, the ever-improving Maria Kirilenko and veteran Ai Sugiyama. But what can the American favourite Bethanie Mattek do? Only you can decide. Vote now as the Rogers Cup gets underway!
