JapanAt the ATP Montreal Masters, top seed Alexander Zverev and Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime both withdrew from the tournament within a short period. Zverev, the reigning French Open champion and Wimbledon runner-up, was defeated by Dutch player Tallon Griekspoor in the second round. Auger-Aliassime had to pull out before his match due to a back injury sustained during training. Tournament director Valerie Tetreault expressed disappointment over the absences of high-profile players like Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic. Meanwhile, fifth-seeded defending champion Ben Shelton advanced to the third round after overcoming U.S. opponent Jenson Brooksby. Other notable results included Stefanos Tsitsipas losing to young Brazilian talent Joao Fonseca, who is now set to face ninth seed Casper Ruud.
