Ninth seed Casper Ruud only lost three games in his first round match in the National Bank Open in Montreal. A tougher task awaits him in round two as he takes on 22nd seed Joao Fonseca but he does look to be in good form and our prediction is he will win this match.
In round four (the last 16), the winner will meet either fifth seed Ben Shelton or 31st-seeded Zizou Bergs.
It was a case of swift revenge for Ruud in round one. In mid-July he lost to Juan Manuel Cerunolo in the last eight of the Gstaad clay court tournament. They met again in this outdoor hard court tournament and Ruud won 6-1 6-2 to reach this second round.
The world number 14 has reached one ATP Tour quarter-final on this surface in 2026 with an 8-7 record.
Four of his last six outdoor hard court matches have seen a tie-break played,
Joao Fonseca is playing only his ninth match of the year on this surface and has a 5-3 record.
His best run on outdoor hard courts has been a round four in Indian Wells but twice he's failed to get past this stage.
Round one saw him beat Stefanos Tsitsipas 7-6 7-5.
