Command Analysis

Gabriel Diallo

Diallo has a 13-6 record on outdoor hard courts this season, and won the title at the Chicago Challenger, beating Bou Yanchaokete in the final. Gabriel also took part in the Lexington Challenger last week, where he reached the quarterfinals, losing to Joao Fonseca at this stage. The Canadian will be playing in the main draw in Montreal for the first time in his career.

Karen Khachanov

Khachanov had a rather unsuccessful trip to Washington last week, where he lost to Sung-Chang Hong in the first round. On open hard courts, Karen has ten wins and seven losses this season. In February, on this surface, we recall, the Russian won the title in Doha - in the final of that competition, he beat Yakub Menshik. For Khachanov, this was the sixth ATP title in his career.
