Zverev, Rublev, and Dimitrov deliver in Montreal

The Thursday morning session at ATP Montreal 2024 seemed to be full of surprises. The defeats of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev could have foreshadowed a day full of upsets, but there are some seeded players who wanted to avoid further catastrophe. Alexander Zverev, for instance, could not have had a better tournament start, defeating Jordan Thompson with a clear 6-1, 6-1; even more ruthless was Grigor Dimitrov, who left Rinky Hijikata with just one game (6-1, 6-0) and confirmed his title candidacy. Also in need of a character win was Andrey Rublev, who recovered from a poor start against Tomás Etcheverry and gave himself a small joy by winning in two sets (7-6(3), 6-2).
