ATP Montreal

Review Author MoreTennis

Tournament preview : Montreal - Masters 2017 (Canada) long time no see, not only players for few months didn’t compete in Masters level tournament, but this tournament was two years ago – We mean in this particular place, every two years players came here to play this RogersCup Master.  One of the most prestigious tournaments in Canada and maybe all ATP tour have really big prize fond, this year 4,917,120$ and of course 1000 ranking points, even in first round players gets 10 ranking points and 16,595 $ very solid numbers. Winner get‘s 894,585 $ for sure it is big money for a player, last time Andy Murray was that player who won this solid money, anyway this year here we will see a new champion and new finalist, because neither Andy Murray (winner) neither Novak Djokovic (Finalist) isn‘t playing this time.

Players who will play in this event :

Top seeds : First seed is Rafael Nadal (2), this year hard surface score is 22/5, very solid numbers, but we doubt he can take this title even if he is first seeded player. Rafael Nadal is playing very well this season, he won Rolland Garros, but he never won this tournament here, best score is QF, and that not good enough. Last time he reached R16 and lost to Kei Nishikori in two sets.

Second seed : Roger Federer (3) The most dangerous player at this tournament, this year 21/2 score on hard court,  many titles on hard, Grand Slam title in Australian Open, Wimbledon this year.. Just amazing playing quality this year. Roger never won here too, last time he played here it was 2011 and he lost to Tsonga Jo in R16, best score in this tournament was in 2007, ten years ago when he reached Semifinals.

Third seed -  Dominic Thiem a young player from Austria, who will play only second his Montreal Master, last time he just loose in first round and that was all for him. With no miraculous score on hard this year, only 11/7 he still manage to reach No. 7 in ATP ranking. Player from Austria mostly plays on clay court and prefers slower surface.

Fourth seed : Youngster from Germany, but with Russian blood, Sasha Zverev is second most dangerous player here in our opinion. No. 8 player in world currently is playing at Washington event, where he is in the final. For this moment he have 12/4 score on hard, but we guess he will improve. Player very talented, with perfect serve, good athletism and other qualities to be best. He never played here in masters, so it will be his first time.

Other famous players : This year field won’t have such good players like Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Stanislas Wawrinka, Marin Cilic and some other players, but we will still see some good players and superstars like Grigor Dimitrov, Milos Raonic, David Goffin, Kei Nishikori and they all have a great opportunity to win this event.

Most interesting first round matches : Juan Martin Del Potro - John Isner (14) this will be one good battle between Towers, who like to play  big serving game, use strong shots and play old good serve and volley. Steve Johnson – Gael Monfils two perfect players to watch, American versus French player they both have good serves, but totally different style of playing.
Sam Querrey  - Gilles Muller also very interesting battle between towers, with one American, who currently won Los Cabos title and after good play in Wimbledon can’t stop to win. Gilles Muller also good player who can compete in serving battle in first round.
All super elite players like top seeds will play from second round.
