Schedule: Shapovalov, Raonic Feature Monday In Montreal; Felix/Vasek Team Up

Canadians headline Day 1 of the Coupe Rogers, with Milos Raonic and Denis Shapovalov opening their singles campaigns at the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Montreal. Raonic, the 2013 finalist, kicks off the action against Lucas Pouille — the first of four Canadian-French match-ups on Court Central. Denis Shapovalov, returning to the site of his big breakthrough in 2017, features in the evening session against Pierre-Hugues Herbert.

Felix Auger-Aliassime and Vasek Pospisil, who are set to face off in first round singles action, team up in doubles against Jeremy Chardy and Fabrice Martin. Wild card Peter Polansky completes play on Court Central against No. 16 seed Gael Monfils. 

Also on Monday, 2014 champion Jo-Wilfried Tsonga plays Jan-Lennard Struff, and a pair of former World No. 3’s — Stan Wawrinka and Grigor Dimitrov — clash for the 10th time. Wawrinka leads their FedEx ATP Head2Head series 5-4.
