Match Facts
Of the four former champions entered in Toronto, only Caroline Wozniacki and Simona Halep remain after defeats for Petra Kvitova and Agnieszka Radwanska.
Halep beat four top-20 opponents en route to winning last year's title, including WTA World No.2 Angelique Kerber in the semifinals.
Elina Svitolina leads the WTA for most singles titles won in 2017 following successes in Rome, Taipei City, Dubai and Istanbul.
Sloane Stephens has returned to form in Toronto having suffered first-round defeats in her two previous tournaments - at Washington DC (losing to Halep) and at Wimbledon (losing to Alison Riske).
