Wednesday: 17 WTA matches and 23 ATP matches on the slate from Toronto and Montreal. Rybakina, Gauff, Fernandez, Eala, Pegula, Andreeva, Osaka, Noskova, Bencic, Jovic, Tsitsipas/Fonseca, Musetti, FAA, Zverev, Shelton, Fritz, Ruud, Paul, Mensik, Fils, Jodar and more:

News: Gael Monfils and Leolia Jeanjean get the French reciprocal for the US Open from the FFT Monfils was getting one regardless, the question was if it would be the reciprocal or if Arthur Gea was getting that, Gea will have to play qualifying now. Lot of big names looking for WCs.

ATP 1000 Montreal R2: Joao Fonseca vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Prediction: Fonseca in 3 Fonseca hasn't played since Wimbledon and Tsitsipas has won 2 consecutive matches to get here so this could be interesting.

ATP 1000 Montreal R2: Learner Tien vs Gael Monfils Prediction: Tien in 2 Monfils looking to roll back the years again, Tien searching for form after that poor performance vs Mannarino in Washington

WTA 1000 Toronto R2: Barbora Krejcikova vs Liudmila Samsonova Prediction: Krejcikova in 3 As long as she stays healthy, I'm expecting a big summer for Krejcikova, she started the summer hardcourt season with a title in Athens already.

WTA 1000 Toronto R2: Linda Noskova vs Caty McNally Prediction: Noskova in 3 This is Noskova's first match since winning Wimbledon, we will see how she responds to being a slam champion, which is not easy to deal with.

Yannick Hanfmann wins 7⁷-6⁵, 7⁷-6² vs Flavio Cobolli He fought back in both sets but Cobolli loses the first match he plays at a tournament for the 8th time this year, which is absolutely unbelievable for a Top 10 player, his top level is high but he is prone to upsets. That ends today's tennis.

Horrible to see Diallo retire in his hone country, he is in tears on the bench after feeling something after a serve Darderi into the 3rd Round.

Hanfmann takes the opening set tiebreak 7-5 vs Cobolli Cobolli was 1-4 down in the set but Hanfmann holds on in the tiebreak. Rublev the only seed to lose so far in Montreal, but Cobolli in trouble.

Nikola Bartunkova wins 6-3, 6-4 vs Clara Tauson Will face Anisimova in R3, who got a walkover today so that'll be Anisimova's first match

Frances Tiafoe wins 5-7, 6-2, 6-2 vs Marin Cilic Cilic played a great opening set but ran out of gas thereafter, his serve speed fell off and he wasn't running to as many balls

Alex De Minaur wins 6-2, 7⁸-6⁶ vs James Duckworth Saved 3 set points in that tiebreak.

Anna Kalinskaya wins 6-2, 6³-7⁷, 6-4 vs McCartney Kessler Was up a set and a break and then it got real interesting

Tiafoe takes the 2nd set vs Cilic. Wasn't even close to breaking Cilic in the opening set, does so twice in that set 5-7, 6-2

Aryna Sabalenka wins 6-3, 6-3 vs Moyuka Uchijima Pretty good performance, she returns to hard courts and returns to top form at least in the first match.

Cilic 7-5 vs Tiafoe Had 6 break chances in the set and finally takes one on that set point

Sabalenka 6-3 vs Uchijima Was down the early break at 0-2 but bounces back.

Jiri Lehecka wins 6-4, 6-2 vs Kit Kopriva First seed to win in Montreal.

Jerry Shang wins 7-5, 4-6, 7⁷-6⁵ vs Andrey Rublev 5 match points saved, came up with some incredible shots at the end of that tiebreak.

News: Alcaraz will not be playing Cincy The good news is he is back to training but not far enough along to make it. He will either play the US Open without a warmup or miss the last 3 slams of the year, but I think its good that he's taking it cautiously as he has throughout the whole process

Madison Keys wins 6-1, 6-2 vs Antonia Ruzic That was a routine win for Keys, was all over Ruzic's serve, and she will face Kostyuk in a very interesting R3..

News: Davidovich Fokina and Bublik missed Canada and now are both out of Cincy Bublik is expected, he's on record saying as long as Cincy falls during his kids birthday he isn't playing it but Fokina is a bit curious, could not find a reason for his Canada withdrawal.

Terence Atmane wins 6-3, 2-6, 6-2 vs Jack Draper Draper was in tears at one of the change of ends and Tennis Channel said his serving speeds were way down, so assumingly unable to go full speed because of the arm again. He also got a wild card into Cincy but doubting that's going to happen

Tauson vs Bartunkova is the 2nd night match in Toronto now that Tararudee withdrew.

News: Anisimova gets a walkover into Round 3 of Toronto and Venus/Eala take the final doubles WC and will play in Thursday's night session.

Marta Kostyuk wins 7⁷-6⁴, 6-0 vs Katherine Sebov Kostyuk took that tiebreak and then took over, Sebov led the opening set 4-1 and then served for it at 5-4

Iga Swiatek gets past Sara Bejlek 6-0, 6-3 in Toronto Elina Svitolina, who has struggled in recent months also won 6⁵-7⁷, 7⁷-6⁴, 6-4 vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, close to 3 hours. In Montreal, Stefanos Tsitsipas won 6-4, 6-4 vs Martin Damm and Hubert Hurkacz got past Giron 7-5, 4-6, 6-2

Packed Tuesday schedule in Toronto and Montreal. They held Pegula's match over an extra day so 15 women's matches and 23 men's matches. Mix of R1/R2 on ATP. Swiatek, Kostyuk, Sabalenka, Anisimova, Svitolina, Keys, Kalinskaya/Kessler, Tsitsipas, Tiafoe/Cilic, Cobolli, De Minaur, Nakashima and more:

Montreal R2: Frances Tiafoe vs Marin Cilic Prediction: Tiafoe in 3 Tiafoe trying to overcome multiple things in this one, he needs to finally get a run in Canada, the fact that he lost early in Washington makes that a little easier

Toronto R2: Anna Kalinskaya vs McCartney Kessler Prediction: Kalinskaya in 3 Also expecting this to be a good one, both are quite streaky though.
