The National Bank Open in Montreal has faced significant disruptions due to heavy rain. Early in the tournament, rain caused delays for opening matches, including Stefanos Tsitsipas’s scheduled first-round match. Following a loss to João Fonseca, Tsitsipas criticized the quality of the playing surface, stating the bounce resembled a “public court.” Weather conditions continued to impact the tournament schedule into the quarterfinal stage, forcing the postponement of ~~two~~ several men’s quarterfinal matches. These ~~matches~~ matches, including matchups such as Luciano Darderi against Brandon Nakashima and Rafa Jódar against Arthur Fils, were rescheduled for Tuesday, creating a dense playing schedule for the remaining players. The delays have prompted criticism regarding the tournament’s infrastructure, specifically the absence of a retractable roof on the central court. Observers noted that only two of the eight outdoor Masters 1000 tournaments, Madrid and Shanghai, possess such facilities, leaving outdoor events like the Canadian Open vulnerable to weather-related disruptions.
