At the starting line there will be only two blue players (awaiting the results of the qualifiers, in which Fabio Fognini is engaged), with Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini finished in the same half of the board and on a collision course for an unprecedented clash in the second round of final. In the bottom half together with “our” there are also the phenomena of the new generation such as Carlos Alcaraz (second favorite of the tournament that will debut with one between Tommy Paul and Vasek Pospisil), Andrey Rublev, Stefanos Tsitsipas (who finds a qualifier) ​​and Holger Rune . In the upper part, however, the favorite of the event Daniil Medvedev does not fish very well as, beneficiary of a bye, at his debut he could find the Australian threat Nick Kyrgios, finalist at Wimbledon and this week also protagonist in Washington.

GREAT ABSENT

A tournament that of Montreal, open to the most varied implications not only for the great talents present but also for those absent, such as Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal. The Serb, not vaccinated, was forced to give up the event due to the containment measures of the Covid-19 virus that exist between the States and Canada; currently even his participation in tournaments in Cincinnati and New York remains hanging by a thread. The Spaniard, on the other hand, was once again stopped by physical problems, in particular by abdominal discomfort, the same that forced him to retire at Wimbledon before taking the field for the semifinals.
