Alexander Zverev and Felix Auger-Aliassime, the top two seeds at the ATP Montreal Masters, both exit the tournament within hours of each other on Wednesday. Multiple reports say the departures leave the event “star-short,” with the tournament losing its highest-ranked players early. Tournament director Valerie Tetreault is quoted saying expectations had been that Auger-Aliassime would win at least a few matches in Montreal. The coverage frames the day as a significant shift in the draw, since the early elimination of both seeded players changes the projected path for the remaining contenders. With the top seeds out, other players move into the spotlight as the tournament progresses through the next rounds. The reports agree on the timing and the key outcome: both Zverev and Auger-Aliassime are eliminated from Montreal on Wednesday, reducing the tournament’s presence of its top seeded names.
