Alexei Popyrin returns to Montreal as the defending champion and boasts a perfect record in the main draw at this tournament.

Popyrin Looks to Extend His Revival
Alexei Popyrin continued his Montreal campaign with a commanding 6-4, 6-3 victory over Raphael Collignon to reach the third round. The Australian fired 10 aces and did not face a single break point throughout the match.
The result marks an impressive turnaround for the 27-year-old, who arrived in Montreal on a six-match losing streak and had failed to register multiple main-draw wins in any of his previous 10 hard-court events this season.
His best results earlier this year include quarterfinal appearances in Geneva and Houston, along with a third-round run in Rome.
Popyrin has made two previous main-draw appearances at the Canadian Open and has reached at least the quarterfinals on both occasions, winning the title in Montreal in 2024 and reaching the quarterfinals in Toronto in 2025.

Tirante Stuns Taylor Fritz
Thiago Agustin Tirante produced one of the biggest upsets of the tournament by defeating Taylor Fritz 7-5, 6-3. The Argentine won an outstanding 96 percent of his first-serve points and saved all four break points he faced.
This is the third time Tirante has reached the third round of a Masters 1000 event this season. Before 2026, he had never recorded consecutive main-draw wins at this level. His previous runs this year include the fourth round in Rome and the third round in Madrid.
The 25-year-old has also reached the semifinals in Houston and the quarterfinals in Rio de Janeiro and Bastad. Those results helped him achieve a career-high ranking of No. 52 earlier this season.

Verdict
Popyrin's proven success in Montreal and his pedigree on hard courts make him the clear choice. Backing Alexei Popyrin to win, Popyrin to win in straight sets, and Popyrin to cover the -2.5 games handicap all look like excellent options.
