The National Bank Open presented by Rogers continued on Monday, when Gael Monfils, Marin Cilic and Cameron Norrie were among the winners at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Montreal.
Monfils put on a show like only he can Monday night. The 39-year-old Frenchman turned on the style to beat Polish No 1 Kamil Majchrzak 6-4, 6-4 in an entertaining match that finished just before midnight in Montreal, earning his first tour-level win since Monte-Carlo in April.
Making his 15th and final appearance at the Canadian ATP Masters 1000, Monfils became the second-oldest man to win a match at the event. He turns 40 on September 1. Only John McEnroe and Mikhail Youzhny (both 16) have competed at the event more than the fan-favourite Frenchman.
Just the ninth man to record 25 wins at the event in the Open Era (25-13), Monfils has recorded 146 wins overall at the ATP Masters 1000 level — the most victories by any man without a Masters 1000 title.
Meanwhile, after the rain cleared Monday evening at the National Bank Open presented by Rogers, Mariano Navone made some personal history with a 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-3 win against Matteo Berrettini. With his 19th win of 2026, Navone set a new personal-best for victories in a season, improving upon his total of 18 each of the past two years.
The Argentine saved 11 of 12 break points against Berrettini, according to Infosys ATP Stats, and has now advanced to the second round at four of the past five ATP Masters 100s. His victory against the World No 41 is his second hard-court win against a Top 50 player in the PIF ATP Rankings.
