Montreal headlines today's tennis

Every tournament on court today, who is playing, and where to watch.

The two Canadian hard-court events share the spotlight, and the match list is heavy with contests the model sees as close to even.

The men's draw features J. Fonseca, the model's favourite; the women's side has A. Sabalenka in the same position. Play is spread across the afternoon and evening, with several of the closest calls scheduled in the first windows.

In the US, Tennis Channel has the coverage; in the UK it is Sky Sports Tennis. Tennis TV and WTA TV remain as streaming fallbacks where local rights do not apply.
