There will be a new finalist at the Masters 1000 in Montreal

The ATP Masters 1000 Montreal 2026 and the WTA 1000 Toronto 2026 have already defined half of their quarter-finalists. It is worth reviewing in detail how both draws are arranged and what semifinals we could have.

Montreal will see a new Masters 1000 finalist

The bottom half of the draw has been configured with Rafael Jódar vs Arthur Fils and Luciano Darderi vs Brandon Nakashima. One of these four players will emerge as one of the finalists of the tournament, so whoever manages to make it out alive from there will have explored their limits and will experience a new sensation in their sporting career.

In terms of form, Jódar seems to be the one arriving in the best shape, but Fils already knows what it is like to play two Masters 1000 semifinals, something he achieved this very year. Everything indicates that whoever wins that match will enter the semifinals as the favorite, whether against Darderi or against Nakashima.

The Italian is proving he can play well on hard courts too, demonstrating that his semifinals in Rome months ago were not a fluke. Meanwhile, the American will be competing in Montreal for his first quarter-finals in a tournament of this category.

Swiatek takes on the role of favorite in Toronto

The landscape in the upper part of the women's draw has changed significantly after the surprising elimination of Aryna Sabalenka. The world number 1 fell to Ekaterina Alexandrova, leaving a section completely open in which now Iga Swiatek stands out as the main reference.

The Polish player will face Diana Shnaider, who was another major surprise by eliminating Jessica Pegula. This is a particularly important opportunity for Swiatek. The former number 1 has been searching for that turning point that will place her back in the conversation for the major titles, and Sabalenka's defeat has suddenly removed the main favorite from her section.

The other quarter-final in this part of the draw will be Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Elina Svitolina. The Russian comes in strong after defeating Sabalenka, while the Ukrainian overcame Amanda Anisimova to reach the last eight. In short, an exciting landscape in both tournaments.
