Canadian Open tennis quarterfinals delayed by heavy rain in Montreal

Heavy rainfall in Montreal has disrupted the schedule of the ATP Masters 1000 Canadian Open, forcing the postponement of several men's quarterfinal matches. The weather issues on Monday led to a rescheduled, high-density playing schedule for Tuesday.

Key rescheduled matchups include Luciano Darderi against Brandon Nakashima and Rafa Jódar against Arthur Fils. Other quarterfinals scheduled for the day feature Jakub Mensik against Ben Shelton, and Daniel Mérida against Learner Tien. In the doubles category, Francisco Cerúndolo and Tomás Etcheverry are set to face Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten.

The delays have drawn criticism regarding the tournament's infrastructure, specifically the lack of a retractable roof on the central court. Critics noted that only two of the eight outdoor Masters 1000 tournaments, Madrid and Shanghai, possess such facilities, leaving outdoor events vulnerable to weather-related disruptions.
