Sinner advances to NBO Montreal quarterfinal with win over Tabilo

Aug 10, 2024 | 2:34 PM

MONTREAL — Top seed Jannik Sinner of Italy has advanced to the National Bank Open quarterfinal with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Alejandro Tabilo of Chile on Saturday.

Tabilo, despite representing Chile, was born in Toronto. No Canadians remain in the men’s singles tournament — or the women’s singles in Toronto.

Sinner will play No. 5 seed Andrey Rublev of Russia on Saturday night at IGA Stadium for a spot in the men’s semifinal.

Several players are competing twice on Saturday after remnants of tropical storm Debby rained out the tournament’s entire session Friday.

Former world No. 4 Kei Nishikori of Japan defeated Portugal’s Nuno Borges 6-3, 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals, where he’ll play Matteo Arnaldi of Italy on Saturday night.
