TORONTO : Gael Monfils rolled back the years to upset Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4 6-3 on Wednesday at the Canadian Open while Daniil Medvedev got his first U.S. Open tune-up event off to a solid start and home favourite Milos Raonic eased into the third round.

The victory for the Frenchman, who was playing in only his 11th match of the year due to injury, marked his first top-10 win since he beat Russia's Medvedev in the third round last year at Indian Wells. Former champion Medvedev, whose sole Grand Slam title came at the 2021 U.S. Open, saved the three break points he faced against Arnaldi and produced 29 winners as he wrapped up the victory in 86 minutes.

The big-serving Raonic, who was given a wildcard berth into the tournament, backed up his first-round upset of ninth seed Frances Tiafoe with a 6-4 6-3 win over Japanese qualifier Taro Daniel and has now fired down 52 aces through both matches.
