Overview
- The tournament called off its Monday evening session because of thunderstorms, forcing two men's quarterfinals and several doubles matches to be rescheduled for Tuesday.
- On Tuesday Brandon Nakashima beat Luciano Darderi 6-2, 6-3 and Rafael Jodar defeated Arthur Fils 7-6(7/5), 6-3 while Ben Shelton and Learner Tien advanced with 6-3, 6-1 and 6-3, 6-2 wins respectively.
- The semifinal draw is Rafael Jodar versus Brandon Nakashima and Ben Shelton versus Learner Tien, with Jodar and Nakashima each reaching their first ATP Masters 1000 semifinals.
- Jodar's run has lifted him to a live career-high just outside the top 10 and tournament-point math shows a final or title in Montreal could move him into the ATP top 10.
- The late-summer draw has been reshaped by weather, player absences and workload concerns raised by the PTPA, and the all-2000s quarterfinal lineup highlighted a wider youth surge while Canadian wild-card doubles pair Duncan Chan and Alexis Galarneau were eliminated in rain-affected play.
