What’s Happening

The first-round matchup at the 2026 Canadian Open between Matteo Berrettini and Mariano Navone is set for Sunday, August 2, on Centre Court at IGA Stadium in Montreal, with the match scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. local time [Montreal Gazette, Aug 02]. Berrettini, the World No. 41 from Italy, enters the ATP Masters 1000 event after a brief rest following his third-round exit at Wimbledon, where he lost to Grigor Dimitrov; his season record stands at 14-11 [Sportskeeda, Aug 02]. Navone, ranked World No. 44 from Argentina, presents a contrasting style, with analysts noting his preference for extending rallies against Berrettini’s aggressive serve-and-forehand game [Perfect Tennis, Aug 01].

The winner will advance to face either Zachary Svajda or Denis Shapovalov in the second round, with the Canadian crowd likely to back Shapovalov if he advances [Tennis Up To Date, Aug 01].
