Montreal ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinals feature all players born in the 2000s
The ATP Masters 1000 in Montreal has reached the quarterfinals, marked by a historic generational shift as all eight players in the round were born in the 2000s.
Spanish players Daniel Mérida and Rafael Jódar have emerged as major sensations. Mérida reached his first Masters 1000 quarterfinals after defeating Tallon Griekspoor, while Jódar advanced by beating Jiri Lehecka.
In other key matches, defending champion Ben Shelton defeated Brazilian João Fonseca in straight sets, though Fonseca reported ankle pain during the match. Jakub Mensik also secured a spot in the quarterfinals by defeating Botic van de Zandschulp.
Due to heavy rain, several matches, including the clash between Jódar and Arthur Fils, were postponed to Tuesday. The tournament continues with a schedule compressed by weather delays.
