Rain postpones Tsitsipas-Damm match, delays Fonseca's Montreal debut
Stefanos Tsitsipas's opening match against Martin Damm was rained out, leaving João Fonseca waiting for his second-round opponent.
Persistent rain interruptions forced multiple scheduling changes at the Montreal Masters 1000 on Monday, according to TenisBrasil. Among the matches pushed back was the first-round encounter between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Martin Damm, originally slated as the final match of the day’s program.
The postponement directly affects João Fonseca, who received a first-round bye. The Brazilian will make his tournament debut in the second round against whichever player advances from the delayed matchup.
TennisExplorer confirms Fonseca’s path in the draw depends on the outcome of that first-round contest.
The Tsitsipas-Damm match is expected to be rescheduled for Tuesday, weather permitting, with Fonseca’s second-round match to follow once the winner is determined.
