Scenes close to surrealism were experienced in the final of the ATP Toronto 2025 between Ben Shelton and Karen Khachanov. They were still playing the first set when Victoria Mboko won the WTA Montreal 2025 title. The crowd noticed what happened and started a loud ovation for their local heroine, which made Khachanov decide not to serve due to the noise. Shelton had to ask Fergus Murphy (chair umpire) for an explanation of what was happening. After that moment, the match continued with absolute normality.
