Gabriel Diallo, a local wildcard and the only Canadian man still alive in the draw, takes on No. 2 seed Taylor Fritz tonight on Centre Court at Sobeys Stadium in Toronto at the 2025 Canadian Open.
The two met for the first time just weeks ago at Wimbledon, where Fritz edged a dramatic five-set thriller on the big stage. Expect fireworks tonight.
In recent form, Fritz has rallied through the summer swing with consistent baseline firepower — winning titles at Eastbourne and Delray Beach in 2025 and posting a strong 70%+ outdoor hard court win rate entering this week.
Meanwhile, Diallo arrives with momentum after claiming his first ATP title at the Libéma Open in the Netherlands and has impressed at home in Toronto, becoming the last Canadian standing in the draw.
Head-to-Head
Fritz leads their head-to-head series 1–0, having won the only meeting at Wimbledon 2025 in five sets—3–6, 6–3, 7–6, 4–6, 6–3.
What to Watch
This matchup pits Fritz’s heavy serve and flat baseline depth against Diallo’s athleticism and crisp counterpunching, elevated by the energy of the home crowd.
The Canadian’s ability to handle pace and play error‑free tennis in key moments will determine if he can challenge Fritz beyond the early stages.
Prediction
Fritz in three tight sets. Diallo’s crowd support and local momentum will make it competitive, but Fritz will turn it up a notch to secure a win.
