Match recap

Brandon Nakashima defeated Titouan Droguet 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 in the R32 of the Canadian Open 2026.

The second serve decided it. Nakashima took 62 percent of the points behind his, Droguet 41 percent behind his own, and the double-fault ledger read 1 to 5 the same way. The qualifier's break in game 9 for 5-4 had swung the opener, the first set the No. 28 seed had dropped in a week that began with three games conceded to Altmaier. Then the misses stopped. Nakashima's unforced errors fell from 16 in that set to six in the next, where a break in game 2 for 2-0 set the terms. He closed on a break in game 12 for 7-5, Droguet having saved two match points, 2 hours 30 minutes in, with No. 28 Arthur Rinderknech next.
