The National Bank Open continues with a packed day 3 headlined by Simona Halep, Coco Gauff and Denis Shapovalov.
Like every day at the National Bank Open, play will start at 17:00 CET but there won't be any Rafael Nadal as fans hoped to see. The Spaniard withdrew after his foot gave him more problems but there will be interesting matches nonetheless. John Isner will get us underway as he takes on Christian Garin while Sinner plays Duckworth.
Canadians will fly the flag high for Felix Auger-Aliassime who plays Lajovic. At the same time, we will see a fascinating matchup between Karatsev and Khachanov while Nishikori will take on Hurkacz. In the late evening session, we will see Monfils take on Millman while Shapovalov will face off against Tiafoe.

Coco Gauff will play as well with the American set to face Potapova. The final three matches of the day will feature Pegula taking on Pavlyuchenkova, Jabeur taking on Kasatkina and the return of Simona Halep. The Romanian player makes her return to tennis after a lengthy absence vs the red hot Collins.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
