Alexei Popyrin defeated Roman Andres Burruchaga 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 — Canadian Open 2026 R128.
Alexei Popyrin and Roman Andres Burruchaga: Alexei Popyrin leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
Break points, not rankings, decided it. Alexei Popyrin arrived 45 spots below Roman Andres Burruchaga but as the betting market's 58% favorite, and he justified the lean, converting 3 of 7 break chances to the ATP No. 58's 2 of 6. Down a set and a break after Burruchaga broke for 2-1 in game 3 of the second, the qualifier answered in game 8 for 4-4, broke again in game 6 of the third for 4-2, and trimmed his unforced errors from 17 in the opener to 7 in the decider. The 2-hour, 11-minute win at the Canadian Open snaps a five-match main-draw slide dating to his defeat of Taylor Fritz in Geneva in late May.
