The quarter-final match of Canadian Open 2023 between Gael Monfils vs Jannik Sinner will take place on August 12.
Gael Monfils seized a significant opportunity in Toronto by convincingly defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round. He capitalized on this breakthrough by triumphing over Aleksandar Vukic in the subsequent days, securing a spot in the quarterfinals. Notably, this is his first three-match winning streak in 2023 across all levels. Monfils’ struggles on the court post his injury at last year’s Canada Masters had cast doubt on his return to peak performance. However, recent developments challenge this notion. Just a week ago in Washington, he showcased strength by reaching the round of 16 without losing a set and pushing the eventual runner-up to his limits. In Toronto, he attained his initial quarterfinal result since January’s Australian Open. Although a former Toronto Masters semifinalist, his recent appearance two years ago culminated in a narrow defeat by John Isner in the quarterfinals.
In the ongoing tournament, several seeded players faced eliminations, and Jannik Sinner’s opponent Carlos Alcaraz endured a challenging three-set match in the round of 16. However, Sinner was fortunate to receive a day off since his scheduled competitor, Andy Murray, withdrew from their round-of-16 encounter. This is reminiscent of an earlier instance this year when he received a walkover in Montpellier and went on to maintain an undefeated streak for the entire week. Throughout 2023, the Italian tennis player has been enjoying a highly productive season in the Masters tournaments. Despite delivering promising performances, he has yet to clinch his first Masters title, a shortcoming in an otherwise successful year. Although he struggled with a 0-3 record in the quarterfinals of Masters events last year, he has impressively reversed the trend in 2023, securing a flawless 3-0 record in that particular stage of the tournaments.
