Canada’s Stacey Fung 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

Carol Zhao of Richmond Hill, Ont., was scheduled to play Ashlyn Krueger of the United States later Monday.

Zhao defeated Kristina Mladenovic of France 7-5, 6-1 in the first round on Sunday after replacing Hailey Baptiste as an alternate. Baptiste withdrew due to travel issues. 

Bianca Andreescu of Mississauga, Ont., Leylah Fernandez of Laval, Que., Vancouver’s Rebecca Marino, and Toronto’s Marina Stakusic are already in the NBO main draw.
