ATP Toronto Day 3 Predictions Including Alexander Zverev vs Adam Walton

With the second round underway at the ATP Toronto Masters, several matchups feature players trying to build on recent momentum or shake off early exits from the past week. A mix of qualifiers, wild cards, and seeded names makes for a wide variety of styles and form levels–which often leads to tighter matches than expected. Who do you back to progress?

ATP Toronto Day 3 Predictions

Corentin Moutet vs Jenson Brooksby

Head-to-Head: first meeting

Both players are making their Toronto debuts after contrasting weeks in Washington. Moutet reached the semifinals with some clever, disruptive tennis, while Brooksby went out in the first round and is still working his way back to full sharpness. This will be their first meeting, and while Brooksby has the steadier baseline game, Moutet’s variety and feel can throw anyone off rhythm. If the Frenchman brings the same focus he showed last week, this could be a long night for Brooksby.
Prediction: Moutet in 3

Daniil Medvedev vs Dalibor Svrcina

Head-to-Head: first meeting

Daniil Medvedev begins his campaign in Toronto after a quiet summer by his standards, though he’s always dangerous on North American hard courts. Dalibor Svrcina earned his spot with a confident opening-round win and won’t be short on belief. This is their first meeting, and Medvedev’s unorthodox style could draw errors if Svrcina presses too much. Still, if the Czech settles early, he might have spells where he tests the rhythm.
Prediction: Medvedev in 2

Nicolas Arseneault vs Alexei Popyrin

Head-to-Head: first meeting

Nicolas Arseneault came through a battling first-round performance to score his first Masters main draw win, backed by a loud home crowd. Alexei Popyrin has been solid all season and has shown he can dig in on hard courts when needed. This is unfamiliar territory for Arseneault, and the matchup could hinge on whether he can neutralize Popyrin’s serve. If the Aussie finds his rhythm early, the Canadian will need to hang tough.
Prediction: Arseneault in 3

Karen Khachanov vs Juan Pablo Ficovich

Head-to-Head: first meeting

Juan Pablo Ficovich impressed in qualifying and backed it up with a composed first-round win, showing good movement and timing off both wings. Karen Khachanov has been one of the most consistent players on tour this year and he remains dangerous in quicker conditions. They’ve never faced off, and Ficovich will likely look to extend rallies and frustrate the Russian. If Khachanov starts cleanly and keeps the points short, he’ll be tough to break down.
Prediction: Khachanov in 2

Alexander Zverev vs Adam Walton

Head-to-Head: first meeting

Alexander Zverev comes in fresh after a first-round bye and will look to capitalize on a much depleted field as the top ranked player in the draw. Adam Walton notched a solid win to reach this stage and will be looking to take his chances in just his second Masters main draw. They haven’t played before, and the pace of Zverev’s ball might take some adjusting to. If Walton serves well, he can keep things competitive but he’ll need to stay sharp on second-serve returns.
Prediction: Zverev in 2
