The quarterfinals of the Masters 1000 in Canada are set to take place this Tuesday, with Americans Taylor Fritz (2nd seed) and Ben Shelton (4th seed) among the favorites to progress. Fritz’s match against Russian Andrey Rublev (6th seed) is scheduled for 8pm Argentina time. Despite currently being fourth in the ATP ranking, Fritz is the second seed due to the absence of Italian Jannik Sinner and Spanish Carlos Alcaraz, the world’s number 1 and 2 respectively. Fritz recently defeated Czech Jiri Lehecka in a challenging match to reach the quarterfinals and is aiming for his second Masters 1000 title. Rublev, on the other hand, has had an inconsistent 2025 and has dropped out of the top 10. He hopes to seize this opportunity to win his third Masters 1000 trophy and gain momentum for the upcoming Cincinnati Masters and US Open. Following this match, at no earlier than 9:10pm, it will be Shelton’s turn to face a tough challenge against Australian Alex de Minaur (9th seed). This match will showcase contrasting styles, with Shelton known for his offensive play and de Minaur renowned for his defense. The winners will advance to the semifinals on Wednesday, where they will meet German and top seed Alexander Zverev and Russian Karen Khachanov (11th seed).
