Friday Montreal play cancelled due to rain
Friday’s play at the Omnium Banque National présenté par Rogers in Montreal has been cancelled for the day due to rain.
Tournament officials moved early in the day to abandon the full schedule as heavy and persistent rain associated with the remnants of post-cyclone Debby made the possibility of play at any stage of the day highly unlikely.
Today’s cancellation means that several top stars, headlined to Jannik Sinner, will need to play twice Saturday if they are to continue through the draw. Top seed Sinner will play 15th seed Alejandro Tabilo not before 12:30 p.m. on Court Central and if he wins, will return to the same court not before 7 p.m. to face the winner between fifth seed Andrey Rublev and qualifier Brandon Nakashima.
[ATP APP]There are still three second-round matches to be completed, two of which had not commenced: fourth-seeded Pole Hubert Hurkacz and Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis (who were rained out after their warm-up Thursday night) and ninth seed Taylor Fritz and Washington champion Sebastian Korda in an all-American clash.
The other second-round match sees Arthur Rinderknech leading Italian Flavio Cobolli 3-0.
This year’s Canadian ATP Masters 1000 tournament started one day later than normal on Tuesday due to the Paris Olympics. The final is scheduled for Monday.
Earlier today the doubles team of Jack Draper and Jannik Sinner withdrew. The British-Italian duo earned two victories to reach the quarter-finals. Hugo Nys and Jan Zielinski advance to the last four by walkover.
