Canada is always a special stop on the tennis scene. It smells of summer, of night hours and that itch that fans of this sport feel when the big stars return to the ring. Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev or Iga Swiatek return to the competition: we analyze who are the seeded players in the tournament.
Despite the fact that many tennis fans take advantage of the summer to recover from the tennis hangover left by Wimbledon, the tennis wheel does nothing but turn and teleports us to a stage of thousands of classics. Appears Canadaa special tournament, with rotating venues and that this year will live the ATP Toronto 2023 and the WTA Montreal 2023: It is the square in which a good part of the world elite will compete again, the beginning of a strenuous tour that will take us to New York in its last stop. A place of pleasant memory for the Spanish public, in which Rafael Nadal has won several times and was conquered last year by Pablo Carreno.
The Asturian, absent due to a recurring elbow injury, will not be able to recall those experiences. A thousand points will drop from his ranking, while other swords in the circuit are sharpened to be able to add units to his locker. The second part of the season begins and at Puntodebreak we break down the main ones seeded in a frame that, unlike the last Masters 1000, maintains the duration of one week and a total frame of 56 players (The two-week Masters 1000 format has not yet been implemented on the North American tour, although the change will occur in the next few years.)
Seeding order in the ATP Toronto 2023 (there may be last minute drops):
Carlos Alcaraz Daniel Medvedev Casper Ruud Stefanos Tsitsipas Holger Rune Andrey Rublev Jannik Sinner Taylor Fritz Frances Tiafoe Karen Khachanov Felix Auger-Aliassime Cameron Norrie Tommy Paul Borna Coric Alexander Zverev Hubert Hurkacz
It should be remembered that only the top eight seeds will receive a BYE in the first round, avoiding in a possible first duel some big names that will not be seeded (among them Lorenzo Musetti, Alex de Miñaur, Sebastian Korda, Fran Cerúndolo, Christopher Eubanks or even a Nick Kyrgios that still remains registered, although everything indicates that it will be downloaded before the start of the event). So that, Alcaraz avoids Medvedev until a possible finalcould face Rune, Rublev, Sinner or Fritz in a potential quarterfinal, while Alexander Zverev o Hubert Hurkacza finalist last year in Montréal, could be the toughest opponents in the round of 16 (a game that would also be the second meeting solely for the top four seeds).
Seeding order at WTA Montréal 2023:
Iga Swiatek Aryna Sabalenka Elena Rybakina Jessica Pegula Caroline Garcia Coco Gauff Petra Kvitova Maria Sakkari Marketa Vondrousova Daria Kasatkina Barbora Krejcikova Beatriz Haddad Maia Veronika Kudermetova Belinda Bencic Madison Keys Karolina Muchova
Virtually the entire female aristocracy will meet in Montreal, although a good part of the elite has already racked up its first kilometers on hard court in the women’s tournament in Washington, which takes place this week. The main absence will be Our Jabeur, who lived a grueling and tortuous final at Wimbledon and will not be part of a tournament that promises strong emotions. arrive with confidence Every Swiatek, recently proclaimed champion at home, in the Warsaw tournament, while names like Rybakina or Sabalenka will make their return to the circuit, wanting to present their candidacy for the last Grand Slam of the season. A good event, moreover, to measure names like Vondrousova or Muchova, the great revelations of the year in the Majors, who will seek regularity and continuity to their good performances in the first great event of the summer.
