Four Argentine tennis players debuted at the Masters 1000 event in Montreal, with three securing first‑round victories. Juan Manuel Cerúndolo defeated Serbia’s Hamad Medjedovic 6‑4, 6‑2 in about an hour and twenty minutes, advancing to face Casper Ruud in the second round. Sebastián Báez won his match against Italy’s Mattia Bellucci 7‑5, 6‑3, while Thiago Tirante edged out Duncan Chan 6‑3, 1‑6, 7‑6(3).
