For four hours, Chilic was 'trapped' in the waiting room because of rain

Heavy rain disrupted the schedule of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Montreal, delaying the start of matches by four hours on Monday. Instead of beginning at 11 AM local time (5 PM Central European Time), play was postponed until 3 PM. Among those affected was Croatia's Marin Čilić, whose match against Japanese qualifier Shōa Shimabukura, originally scheduled for Sunday, was moved to Monday. On Sunday, only two matches were completed: Shang Knez defeated Paraguay's David Vallejo, and Spain's Pablo Muñoz beat Australia's Go Soeda. Both players advanced to the second round. Notable absences included Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, and Carlos Alcaraz, who did not participate in the tournament.
