Popyrin Stuns Again in Montreal | Sydney News

Alexei Popyrin’s Canadian surge continues as he cruises into the Round of 32 at the Montreal Masters with a straight-sets win over Raphaël Collignon, showcasing a dominant serve and flawless first-serve percentage. His momentum builds after overcoming fellow Aussie Thanasi Kokkinakis to earn his spot in the main draw — and his first ATP-level victory since May. With a current ranking of 139, Popyrin’s form is sparking renewed optimism ahead of the US Open, where he once reached his career-best finish — even defeating Novak Djokovic. Up next: a clash with Thiago Tirante, who stunned Taylor Fritz. On the women’s side, Daria Kasatkina fell to second seed Elena Rybakina, but Aussie hope Maya Joint, just 20, pulled off a stunning upset over Sorana Cîrstea to join Talia Gibson in the third round.
