National Bank Open 2025 Day 2 Recap

Day two of the National Bank Open offered a marginal step up in quality when a few more main drawing studies crept in, and we finally saw some recognizable names on the court.

However, this was not a Masters 1000. Between pensions, qualifying and fleaing Beatdowns, the early rounds of this expanded format continue to feel like an expensive challenger event that is disguised as an elite tennis.

There were still some important points to discuss. Tristan Scholekate backed up its strong form with a solid victory over Joao Fonseca and reminds the fans that fast courts and large services are a dangerous combination in Toronto.

Mackenzie McDonald sent David Goffin in straight sets and showed off his pure ball-leaning and comfort in North American tough courts.

Elsewhere came one of the major surprises that Matteo Gigante, a joke sign, took out Born Coric in three sets.

The Croat looked to cruise after taking the first, but a decline in the intensity opened the door, and Gigante did not hesitate, and handed Coric an early end that could be a precursor to several seeded players could be in trouble this week.

With seed players who finally enter day 3, Zverev, Medvedev, Rune and Musetti among them, maybe the tournament is just starting to resemble an event at the master’s level from here.

Here is a complete division of day 2 results and what will be on Tuesday.

Key matches

Tristan Schoolate Def. Joao Fonseca, 7-6 (5), 6-4

Qualifier Tristan Schoolate produced a statement victory over establishment Darling Joao Fonseca on Monday.

The 24-year-old Aussie, fresh of a quarter final in Los Cabos, practiced his thriving as a sledgehammer and released only four of 37 first serve.

The fast Toronto courts play in the hands of large servers, which allows them to dictate aggressive previews and net forms when school education left Fonseca rush.

The Brazilian, who was certainly a big favorite for the title in view of the absence of Alcaraz and sinners, could not interfere

Mackenzie McDonald Def. David Goffin, 6-4, 6-4

Mackenzie McDonald kept it clean against David Goffin and secured a 6-4, 6-4 victory with his brand rate and precision.

This is the perfect type of surface for McDonald’s game because he is a flat ball striker and has an excellent ability to redirect pace. Goffin can do it too, but on outdoor North American hard drives Mackie is more at home.
