The rain in Montreal delays the match between Jódar and Fils once again
This 2026 Canada Masters 1000, being held this year in Montreal, is turning into a true nightmare for organizers, fans, and players due to the weather conditions. Rain is the main character of the tournament. While several matches had to be suspended during last Monday's session, as well as delaying the start of the match between Rafa Jódar and Jiri Lehecka, this time, the player from Madrid is once again affected by the rain.
Rain may threaten to suspend the entire day at the Canada Masters 1000
The start of his quarter-final match at the Canada Masters 1000 against Arthur Fils was scheduled for 00:00 on Tuesday, August 11 in Spain (6:00 PM in Montreal). However, the rain will force, at minimum, to delay the match by an hour and a half, even two. For now, rain is expected until 8:00 PM local time, which is 02:00 AM in Spain.
No play before 7pm local time at the Montreal ATP 1000. Could be a longer wait if rain continues.

However, no one dares to confirm that the match can be played today, either due to the rain or because of the cut-off time, set at 22:15 in Montreal, which will be 04:15 in the morning in Spain.
In that case, this first day of the quarter-finals, which also includes the match between Luciano Darderi and Brandon Nakashima after the Jodar-Fils match, would have to be rescheduled for Tuesday, August 11, coinciding with the other two quarter-finals: Dani Mérida - Learner Tien, Ben Shelton - Jakub Mensik, although the schedule for these two matches has not yet been confirmed.
One of the structural problems that the Masters 1000 has is the absence of a covered central court in most of its nine events. In fact, only the Mutua Madrid Open and the ATP Shanghai and Paris, which are held indoors, have covered courts.
