Overview
- The Montreal men's semifinals now feature first‑time Masters 1000 semifinalists Rafael Jodar and Brandon Nakashima who will meet for a place in the final, while Ben Shelton faces Learner Tien in the other semi.
- Both Jodar and Nakashima advanced after rain‑delayed quarterfinals, with Jodar lifting to at least No. 11 in live ATP rankings and Nakashima posting his first Masters 1000 semi showing.
- In Toronto Elena Rybakina came from a set down to beat Naomi Osaka and will play Coco Gauff, who advanced to the semifinals on a walkover after Belinda Bencic withdrew with a hip injury.
- Bencic apologized to fans after the withdrawal and the walkover gives Gauff extra rest and preparation time ahead of Cincinnati and the US Open.
- Toronto results have left Aryna Sabalenka holding a razor‑thin one‑point lead in the live Race to Indian Wells and the mixed weather, withdrawals and surprise runs could affect seedings, momentum and season‑end qualification.
