The first full day of competition at the Swatch World Tour Finals on the shores of the iconic Lake Ontario was full of excitement as Olympic champions and home heroes battled it out and wowed the crowds on Center Court.

As with any tournament there are winners and losers in equal measure but through the delight and disappointment our athletes still took the time to revel in the fact they’ve reached the end-of-season epic that is the #TorontoFinals!

And our hashtag was popping up all over the place on social media as players and fans alike posted their thoughts to Twitter and Instagram.

Louise Bawden and Taliqua Clancy have come a long way for this tournament but Lou was still taking the positives despite their defeat today.

No W today but great to be back on the court! #TorontoFinals continue tomorrow #onwardsandupwards 😊👍💪@swatchmajorseries

On the other side of the coin, Tri Bourne and John Hyden fought back from a set down to record a stunning result over Brazilians Pedro Solberg/Evandro… 

Took down our first match vs the Brazilians. Had to fight off a bunch of these big jump serves from Evandro. Canadians tomorrow... @swatchmajorseries #torontofinals @mizunovolley #mizuno @konared #aimsportsmedicine @officialmauijim #mauijims

…but earlier in the day Bruno took on Adrian and went head-to-head in a different sport…on the table tennis table.
