Joao Fonseca def. Stefanos Tsitsipas 7(7)-6(3), 7-5 — Canadian Open 2026 R64

Match recap

Joao Fonseca defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas 7(7)-6(3), 7-5 in the R64 of the Canadian Open 2026.

Return-game efficiency separated them. Joao Fonseca converted all three break points he saw at the Canadian Open while Stefanos Tsitsipas cashed just 2 of 5, and the No. 22 seed backed the thrift by winning 82 percent of first-serve points. The Greek's break for 5-5 in game 10 of the second set lasted one game — Fonseca broke back in game 11 for 6-5 and served it out, closing a 1-hour, 50-minute win that snaps the Brazilian's two-loss skid since the Wimbledon Round of 32.
