·Masters·HardSebastian Baez defeated Mattia Bellucci 7-5, 6-3 — Canadian Open 2026 R128.
Sebastian Baez and Mattia Bellucci: Sebastian Baez leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
The second ball settled it. Sebastian Baez won 63% of his second-serve points to Mattia Bellucci's 32%, a gap wide enough to render the Italian's superior first-strike numbers — 79% of first-serve points won to Baez's 76, six aces to two — beside the point. Baez, 7-4 on hard courts this season, broke in game 6 of the opener for 4-2, and though Bellucci saved one match point, the Argentine closed his Canadian Open opener in 1 hour, 20 minutes.
