The controversial decision of ATP Montreal after the day's matches were canceled due to rain
The Sunday session at the ATP Montreal 2026 has been marked by rain, to the extent that only two matches have been completed, with the rest canceled and postponed for tomorrow. Beyond this misfortune, controversy has arisen as it has come to light that the tournament will not refund the fans, but rather offer them solutions that leave much to be desired.
Toda la sesión nocturna de hoy en Canadá ha sido cancelada.
Si has comprado una entrada para esta sesión debes saber que NO te devuelven el dinero sino que te dan la opción de comprar otra sesión del torneo y deberías pagar la diferencia (encima).
Si todas las sesiones… https://t.co/j7KdYnxst5 pic.twitter.com/EcVlFs3F2l— José Morón (@jmgmoron) August 2, 2026
For those who have paid for a ticket to attend today’s session, the solution they are offered is to purchase another session of the tournament. However, they must pay the difference out of their own pocket. Seeing is believing. In case all sessions are sold out, the tournament itself would inform about the options via email, but this solution is one that many affected today have found unsatisfactory due to the difficult situation it leaves them in.
The rain also threatens tomorrow
There are many Canadians who may have attended the tournament and might not be as displeased, but there are also many people who have traveled from far to see their favorite players, with all the expenses that entails in hotels, food, etc. Therefore, it would be logical to find a middle ground, as some people may not be in a position to stay extra days due to the expenses it involves.
As if that weren’t enough, tomorrow they also predict a high probability of rain, which could be disastrous for the organization. The tournament's idea is to hold a marathon of tennis tomorrow, but if a similar situation occurs tomorrow, it will create moments of high tension. In fact, rain is also forecasted for Thursday, which raises the debate again whether tournaments of this stature should be required to have one or two covered courts to avoid these situations.
