Gael Monfils def. Kamil Majchrzak 6-4, 6-4 — Canadian Open 2026 R128

Match recap

Gael Monfils defeated Kamil Majchrzak 6-4, 6-4 in the R128 of the Canadian Open 2026.

The first-serve gap decided it. In his first outing since the French Open, wild card Gael Monfils — ATP No. 326 this week, facing the betting market's 73 percent favorite — won 78 percent of first-serve points to Kamil Majchrzak's 49 while out-acing him 8-1. The opener turned on three breaks in a row: Monfils in game 7, Majchrzak back in game 8, Monfils again in game 9 for 5-4. Majchrzak, the ATP No. 72, saved a match point and clawed a break back for 3-5 in the second, but the 39-year-old Frenchman closed 1 hour, 38 minutes in for his first win since Monte-Carlo in April — and a second-round spot at the Canadian Open.
