Denis Shapovalov has plenty working in his favor heading into his opening match in Montreal. The Canadian will enjoy home support, arrives with decent momentum after reaching the final in Washington last week, and faces an opponent carrying fitness concerns.
Zachary Svajda struggled physically during both of his matches in Washington, leaving question marks over his condition for this event.
Shapovalov Bids For A Winning Montreal Start
- Svajda has a 3–2 record in opening-round Masters matches.
- He has a 2–7 record against Top 50 players.
- Shapovalov has a 2–2 record in Montreal opening-round matches.
- He has a 7–10 record against players outside the Top 50 in 2026.

This will be their first meeting.
Zachary Svajda Eyes a Statement Win
Zachary Svajda has struggled with fitness issues throughout the season, which significantly affected his performances and consistency this year.
However, the American regained confidence with breakthrough Grand Slam results, reaching the fourth round at the French Open and the third round at Wimbledon. Despite that progress, his most recent campaign in Washington ended disappointingly, where he lost both of his matches after entering the main draw as a lucky loser.
This is Svajda's debut appearance at the Canadian Open. He heads into the tournament with a 3-2 record in Masters 1000 opening-round matches.

Shapovalov Targets a Winning Start
Denis Shapovalov was unable to defend his Los Cabos title last week, falling to Arthur Gea in straight sets in the final. Despite the defeat, it was a much-needed result after a difficult run of form.
Before Los Cabos, the Canadian had played 15 tournaments this season and registered multiple main-draw wins only three times, a stretch that saw him drop outside the top 50. His runner-up finish last week has lifted him back inside the top 50.
This is Shapovalov's fifth appearance in Montreal. He reached the semifinals on his tournament debut in 2017 but has won only one main-draw match across his next three appearances, including opening-round exits in each of his last two visits.

Verdict
With home advantage, confidence, and his opponent's fitness concerns all tilting the balance in his favor, Shapovalov looks the right choice. Backing Denis Shapovalov to win, Shapovalov to win in straight sets, and Shapovalov to cover the -2.5 games handicap all make plenty of appeal.
