The Tournament:

The Canadian Open, also known as the Canada Masters, and currently branded as the National Bank Open presented by Rogers for sponsorship reasons, is an annual tennis tournament held in Ontario and Quebec. The men's competition is a Masters 1000 event on the ATP Tour, and the women's competition is a WTA 1000 tournament on the WTA Tour. The competition is played on outdoor hard courts.

It is the second oldest active tournament after Wimbledon.

Prior to 2011, they were held during separate weeks in the July–August period; now the two competitions are held during the same week in August. The events alternate from year to year between the cities of Montreal and Toronto. Since 2021 in even-numbered years the men's tournament is held in Montreal, while the women's tournament is held in Toronto, and vice versa in odd-numbered years. The Toronto tournament is held at Sobeys Stadium and the Montreal tournament is held at IGA Stadium.

The matches on centre court start around 12.30pm, though due to the weather forecast for day 1 the officials have decided to start matches on CC at 11.00am
In Montreal the WTA would not agree so the matches are starting at 12.30pm on CC

The only person who could possibly stop Med's ascent to the final is Hair Dude

EDIT: Although I'm reminded, he basically donated a match to the annoying Dan late last fall.

@don_fabio — I noticed Mektic and Pavic are playing with other partners. Have you heard anything about this?
They retired their partnership after Wimbledon this year. read that news recently which I posted on ATP News, though no other details given why they decided to go their separate ways in doubles.
