MONTREAL -- Leylah Fernandez criticized the schedule at the National Bank Open after the Canadian lost in the first round of her home tournament Tuesday, two days after winning the title in Washington.

She was routed 6-4, 6-1 by Australian Maya Joint in just one hour, 15 minutes. Fernandez, the No. 24-ranked player, won her fourth career WTA title Sunday in Washington and was hoping for additional rest before returning to the court in Montreal.

Fernandez said she received "a lot of promises" that she would play during Tuesday's night session, giving her more time to recover between the two tournaments, but learned Sunday while traveling that that wouldn't be the case.

"I did not receive that," she said. "That hurt me because I was very looking forward to be playing at night, but I guess it's a little bit political issues at that point."
