Alexander Zverev defeated Jordan Thompson 6–1, 6–1 in the first round of the Canada Masters, a Masters 1000 event on hard court in Montreal. The German top seed delivered a dominant performance, dropping just two games across two sets against the Australian qualifier. As the heavy pre-match favourite at 1.32 odds, Zverev's emphatic victory followed expectations and demonstrated his commanding form heading into the latter stages of the North American hard-court season. The comprehensive nature of the win—two identical set scorelines—underlined his superiority in the matchup. Zverev's clinical display positions him well for the subsequent rounds of the tournament.
