Lorenzo Musetti of Italy returns the ball against James Duckworth of Australia during second-round tennis action at the National Bank Open in Toronto on Tuesday, July 29, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette< TORONTO — Seeded players were in strong form in early play Tuesday at the National Bank Open men's tennis tournament. Third-seeded Lorenzo Musetti of Italy beat Australian qualifier James Duckworth 7-5, 6-1 and Denmark's Holger Rune posted a 7-6 (7), 6-3 win over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard of France on a hot, sunny afternoon at Sobeys Stadium. "Very tricky first match for me because he's a big server and (there wasn't) a lot of rhythm in the match," Rune said. "I had to really take care of my own serve and then just look for the opportunities that I had." Wild-card entry Nicolas Arseneault of Richmond Hill, Ont., dropped a 7-6 (7), 6-3 decision to defending champion and No. 18 seed Alexei Popyrin of Australia. Russia's Karen Khachanov, the No. 11 seed, topped qualifier Juan Pablo Ficovich of Argentina 6-4, 6-2 and 26th-seeded American Alex Michelsen downed Chilean qualifier Tomas Barrios Vera 7-6 (7), 6-3. Alexandre Muller of France, the No. 29 seed, outlasted Serbia's Miomir Kecmanovic 2-6, 6-3, 7-5. In the evening session, 22nd-seeded Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., was scheduled to play American Learner Tien on centre court. Top-seeded Alex Zverev of Germany was to meet Australia's Adam Walton in the late match. Play at the Masters 1000 tournament continues through Aug. 7.

Create Account The 38-year-old French tennis icon missed out on four match points to exit 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (7/3) to number 142 Tomas Barrios Vera, who won the first Masters match of his career and ended a seven-match loss streak at the ATP level. Monfils symbolically touched the baseline as he walked off a loser after nearly three hours in torrid summer temperatures approaching 35 Celsius. 'There's no explanation, it's the last one,' he said. 'It will be two years to play (again) in Toronto, so pretty much I won't be able to play it. Obviously I think the next one is too old for me, so I think it was the last time I'll play here.' He added: 'I actually thought at the end, and I was like, 'Well, I think it's, unfortunately, but the last time I think I would play here.'' Monfils had little good to say about his effort. 'Without taking credit from my opponent, (it was a) bad match from my side, not the quality that I want, not the level that I want to perform,' he said. '(I need to) try to work hard, feel this winning (habit come) back a little bit and try to still believe. 'Keep my head up, even though it's not easy, but I will try my best.'
