Montreal on the brink of collapse: a Monday with dozens of matches and a constant threat of rain
The ATP Masters 1000 Montreal 2026 faces an absolutely chaotic Monday. The rain prevented the majority of the scheduled matches for Sunday from taking place, and the organizers have been forced to create a marathon schedule, with dozens of matches distributed across the five main courts. The main problem is that the weather forecasts are again very pessimistic, with a high probability of precipitation throughout practically the entire day, making it very difficult to think that the planned schedule can be completed.
Center Court and Rogers Court, filled with big names
The Center Court will concentrate much of the action. The day will start with Canadian Alexis Galarneau against Vit Kopriva, followed by the attractive clash between Nuno Borges and Aleksandar Kovacevic. Next up is the debut of Jack Draper, invited by the organizers, against Terence Atmane, while the evening slot is reserved for Gael Monfils against Kamil Majchrzak and the anticipated return of Stefanos Tsitsipas, who will face American Martin Damm.
On the Rogers Court, there will also be exciting matches. Matteo Berrettini will start the session against Mariano Navone, Marin Cilic will compete against Sho Shimabukuro, and Cameron Norrie will face Camilo Ugo Carabelli. Additionally, two Spaniards will seek a spot in the second round: Daniel Mérida will play against Canadian Liam Draxl and Pablo Carreño will face Frenchman Valentin Royer.
Three more Spaniards and an almost impossible schedule to complete
The Spanish representation is completed by Martín Landaluce, who will open the action on Court 5 against Colombian Nicolás Mejía. In that same court, there are also interesting matches like Michael Zheng-Miomir Kecmanovic, Fucsovics-Moutet, or Sonego-Griekspoor.
On paper, the schedule looks spectacular. In practice, however, it seems almost utopian to imagine that more than two or three matches per court can be played. If the rain returns with the intensity expected, the tournament may be forced to accumulate even more delays, seriously compromising the development of a draw already heavily impacted by inclement weather.
