Stefanos Tsitsipas eliminated in the second round of the Montreal Masters

Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas has been eliminated from the National Bank Open in Montreal following his second-round match on Wednesday, August 5, 2026. After a successful start to the tournament, Tsitsipas lost to the rising Brazilian talent Joao Fonseca in straight sets with a final score of 7-6 (7-3), 7-5.

The defeat occurred just one day after Tsitsipas achieved a convincing 2-0 victory (6-4, 6-4) over Martin Damm in the first round on August 4. In that opening match, the 28-year-old athlete displayed strong serving form, losing only six points in his service games during the first set and successfully executing multiple breaks despite an early deficit in the second set.

Following the second-round loss, Joao Fonseca advances to the third round of the ATP 1000 tournament. He is now scheduled to face the winner of the match between Casper Ruud and Juan Manuel Cerundolo. This result marks the end of the competition for Tsitsipas in the Canadian event, having struggled to maintain consistency during the final stages of his match against Fonseca.
