TORONTO — Canadians Stacey Fung and Carol Zhao won't reach the National Bank Open main draw.
Fung was knocked out in the second round of women's singles qualifying with a 6-1, 6-3 loss to top qualifier Katie Volynets of the United States on Monday at Sobeys Stadium.
The 27-year-old Fung, from Vancouver, won just seven of 32 points on first serve and conceded eight of nine break points Zhao of Richmond Hill, Ont., dropped a 6-1, 6-0 decision to Ashlyn Krueger of the United States. She had 13 double faults and won just 30 per cent of the points on her first serve.
