Match Overview & Historic Milestones
American star Ben Shelton solidified his hard-court dominance by defeating compatriot Brandon Nakashima 6–3, 7–6(4) under the lights at IGA Stadium in Montreal.
Shelton’s victory was full of historical significance:
- Back-to-Back Canadian Champion: Shelton became the first man to successfully defend the Canadian Open singles title since Rafael Nadal accomplished the feat in 2019.
- Flawless Tournament: Shelton won the entire tournament without dropping a single set, matching Novak Djokovic’s legendary 2016 run in Canada.
- First All-American Final Since 2003: The championship clash marked the first all-American Masters 1000 final on tour since Andy Roddick defeated Mardy Fish at the 2003 Cincinnati Open, and the first in Canada since Andre Agassi beat Pete Sampras in 1995.
Shelton set the tone early in the first set, using his explosive serve and heavy forehand returns. A blistering forehand winner down the line earned him the key break at 4–3, before he served out the opening set 6–3.
In the second set, 28th-seeded Nakashima raised his level, relying on four aces in his opening service game and saving key break points. However, facing scoreboard pressure at 4–5 and 5–6, Nakashima fought bravely to force a tiebreaker. In the breaker, Shelton grabbed the crucial mini-break with a forehand winner for 4–2 before closing out the match with another forehand down the line. Shelton finished the final with seven aces, winning 86% of his first-serve points without getting broken for the third consecutive match.
“To go through the draw without dropping a set, I think it speaks a lot to the work I’ve been putting in but also speaks to my mental toughness… I played some of the best tennis I ever played.” — Ben Shelton

Match Overview & Key Highlights
Six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Świątek put on a clinical display of high-octane baseline tennis to defeat World No. 2 Elena Rybakina 6–2, 6–3 at Sobeys Stadium in Toronto. The victory earned Świątek her very first National Bank Open title, her 12th WTA 1000 crown, and the 26th singles trophy of her career overall.
Entering the final, the head-to-head between Świątek and Rybakina stood deadlocked at 6–6. However, Świątek wasted no time seizing control:
- First Set: Rybakina suffered a nightmare opening game, spraying a dropshot and committing back-to-back double faults to give Świątek an immediate break. Świątek capitalized, consolidating for 2–0 and breaking again late in the set with a forehand winner to take the opener 6–2 in swift fashion.
- Second Set: Rybakina attempted to reset, keeping pace through the first four games. However, at 2–2, a barrage of backhand unforced errors from Rybakina handed Świątek another service break. Świątek remained composure on serve, returning Rybakina’s heavy deliveries with depth. At 5–3, Świątek earned two championship points on Rybakina’s serve, converting the second with a forehand down the line to seal the title in straight sets.
With reigning champion Victoria Mboko absent due to a knee injury, Świątek’s victory highlighted her resilience after fighting back from a set down in earlier rounds against Marta Kostyuk and Elina Svitolina. Aryna Sabalenka retained her WTA No. 1 ranking after reaching the fourth round earlier in the week.

Score: 5-7, 6-4, [10-6] | Maiden ATP Masters 1000 Title
Match Overview & Surprise Run
The men’s doubles draw produced one of the most unexpected championship outcomes in National Bank Open history. Unseeded Brazilian duo Orlando Luz and Rafael Matos stunned 3rd seeds Marcelo Arévalo and Mate Pavić 5–7, 6–4, [10–6] to capture their maiden ATP Masters 1000 doubles title.
Prior to Montreal, Luz and Matos possessed a combined individual record of just 7–22 at the Masters 1000 level. However, after dethroning defending champions Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool earlier in the week, the Brazilians brought peak intensity to the final:
- After dropping a tight opening set where Matos struggled on serve late, the Brazilians regrouped quickly in the second.
- Luz delivered baseline power while Matos found his range at the net, breaking Arévalo and Pavić early in the second set to force a deciding 10-point match tiebreaker.
- In the tiebreaker, Luz and Matos raced to a 7–2 lead behind aggressive poaching. Matos sealed the victory with a forehand drive down the line at 9–6 to complete the dramatic upset.
The victory vaulted the Brazilian pair into the top eight of the ATP Live Race to Turin for the season-ending ATP Finals.
