The round of 32 match of Canadian Open 2023 between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Gael Monfils will take place on August 9.
Stefanos Tsitsipas broke his 2023 season’s negative streak in Los Cabos, aiming to sustain this momentum and compensate for earlier missed chances by claiming significant titles in the latter part of the year. Ending his 13-month title drought, he won in Los Cabos, defeating Borna Coric and Alex de Minaur for his first trophy this year. Despite respectable stats of 40 wins across surfaces and a 15-3 record on outdoor hardcourts, his lack of major titles and key victories has cast a shadow on his season. He reached multiple quarterfinals and better in Grand Slam and Masters events, yet converting deep runs remains a challenge. Notably, Tsitsipas has shown prowess in Toronto, reaching the 2018 Masters final and 2021 semifinals.
Gael Monfils is gradually regaining his form and confidence following a period of lackluster performances due to fitness issues. He secured consecutive wins for the first time since last year’s Canada Masters in Washington and triumphed over in-form Christopher Eubanks in Toronto’s first round. Despite struggles, the former Toronto Masters semifinalist notably beat Daniil Medvedev at Indian Wells in 2022, yet was outplayed by Novak Djokovic in Madrid a few months later. These matches with top-10 opponents mainly occurred at the Masters level, showcasing Monfils’ potential against elite competition.
