Weather once again interrupted tennis action in North America, with heavy rain on Monday forcing to delay two men quarter-final matches, that will be played on Tuesday, making it a particularly busy day in Montreal.
It is the second time it happens to Rafa Jódar: his final in Washington was delayed from a Sunday to Monday, and now his quarter-final match, scheduled not before 18:00 local time on Monday (Tuesday at 00:00 CEST, 23:00 BST of Monday) against Arthur Fils will be played today Tuesday not before 20:00 CEST, 19:00 BST on the Center Court (14:00 PM local time in Montreal).
Fils vs. Jódar will be their third encounter in the head to head: the Frenchman won the first time in the Barcelona Open semi-finals, and Fils ended up winning the title; but Jódar beat Fils two weeks ago during the Washington Open.
The first match to be played on the Center Court today will be the other delayed quarter-final between Luciano Darderi and Brandon Nakashima, while in the afternoon the originally scheduled QFs will take place between Jakub Mensik and Ben Shelton, and Dani Mérida vs. Learner Tien.
Canadian Open men quarter-finals (times in Europe):
- Darderi vs. Nakashima: 18:30 CEST, 17:00 BST
- Jódar vs. Fils: not before 20:00 CEST, 19:00 BST
- Mensik vs. Shelton: not before 00:00 CEST, 23:00 BST
- Mérida vs. Tien: not before 01:10 CEST, 00:10 BST (of Wednesday)
