Returning to hard courts following the conclusion of the European grass-court season, Pablo Carreño-Busta will be hoping to repeat his 2022 antics at this tournament. Facing the Spaniard is Valentin Royer, who is also getting back down to business on this surface for the first time since the spring. The French player was struggling back then, so much so that he looks up against it here.
Betting on heavy favorites isn't for everyone, but if you are looking for a likely winner that may even be generously priced, then look no further than Pablo Carreño-Busta, who as mentioned above, has previously won this event. If we compare the 2026 hard-court efforts of these two players, then it's not at all difficult to conclude that the Spaniard should be an even stronger favorite.

Our Pablo Carreño-Busta vs Valentin Royer Prediction
Pablo Carreno-Busta knows Montreal well, winning the Canadian Open back in 2022, while he'll likely be pleased to get back down to business on a hard surface after a disappointing grass-court season. Earlier in the year on hard courts, the Spaniard was in strong form, with him beating players such as Denis Shapovalov back in the spring. That sort of form points towards him defeating Valentin Royer, who has won just one of his last six hard-court matches, also losing 13 of his last 15 on this surface.
