Former World No. 1 Serena Williams will square off against Belinda Bencic in the second round of the Canadian Open on Wednesday.

Williams entered the tournament on the back of a first-round exit at the Wimbledon Championships against France's Harmony Tan. However, the American legend returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 6-3, 6-4 victory over Nuria Parrizas-Diaz.

Williams is competing at the Canadian Open for the first time in three years. Her last appearance was in 2019 when she finished runner-up, retiring in the first set against Bianca Andreescu in the final.

The 40-year-old has a terrific record at the Canadian Open, winning the event three times in her career (2001, 2011, 2013).

Belinda Bencic, on the other hand, is making her third appearance in Toronto. She secured her place in the second round with a comprehensive win against Tereza Martincova, 6-4, 6-2.

The Swiss player is also a former champion at the Canadian Open. She capped off a memorable campaign in 2015 by defeating the likes of Caroline Wozniacki, Anna Ivanovich, Serena Williams and Simona Halep en route to her second WTA title.

Bencic has had a good season so far, garnering 28 wins from 41 matches and winning the Charleston Open in April. She also finished runner-up at the bett1open in Berlin where she was bested by World No. 5 Ons Jabeur.

Bencic entered the Canadian Open on the back of a first-round loss at Wimbledon and a quarterfinal exit at the Ladies Open Lausanne.
