What’s Happening

The third-round matchup between Terence Atmane and Jakub Mensik at the National Bank Open is set for Friday, August 7, 2026, on Rogers Court in Montreal, with a scheduled start time not before 6:00 p.m. local time [ATP Tour, Aug 7]. Atmane, the French left-hander, enters the contest after a dramatic second-round victory over Jack Draper, a result that left the Brit in tears and ended what had been a highly anticipated comeback from a lengthy injury layoff [Perfect Tennis, Aug 7]. The 34% probability assigned to Atmane reflects his recent form, which includes a three-set loss to Alejandro Tabilo at the Citi Open on July 27 and a five-set defeat to Frances Tiafoe at Wimbledon on June 30, though he did beat Tiafoe in three sets at Eastbourne on June 22 [Sportytrader, Aug 6].

Mensik, the 13th seed from the Czech Republic, carries a 66% probability into this third-round clash at the National Bank Open: Terence Atmane vs Jakub Mensik, a matchup that has no prior head-to-head history since 2022 [Tennis Majors, Aug 6]. The 20-year-old has posted a 50% win rate across his last six matches, including a three-set victory over Jacob Fearnley on August 5 in Montreal, but he struggled in Washington, where he was eliminated in the Citi Open [Sportytrader, Aug 6]. Analysts have noted that Mensik possesses significant firepower from both wings, but his mental consistency remains a question mark, which could prove decisive against an explosive opponent like Atmane [Perfect Tennis, Aug 1].

The winner of this National Bank Open: Terence Atmane vs Jakub Mensik third-round match will advance to face either Casper Ruud or João Fonseca in the fourth round, with those two players scheduled to meet later on Friday evening on Center Court [ATP Tour, Aug 7]. Atmane’s path to this stage included a first-round bye and a hard-fought win over Draper, while Mensik has already played one match in Montreal, beating Fearnley in three sets. The broader draw remains wide open, with top contenders like Ben Shelton and Tommy Paul also in action on Friday, but this specific matchup pits a qualifier-style momentum player against a seeded talent looking to rebound from an early exit in Washington [Perfect Tennis, Aug 7].
