<\/p>\nDay two of the National Bank Open offered a marginal step up in quality as a few more main draw regulars crept in, and we finally saw some recognisable names on court.<\/p>\n
However, this was not a Masters 1000. Between retirements, qualifiers, and lopsided beatdowns, the early rounds of this expanded format continue to feel like an overpriced Challenger event disguised as elite tennis.<\/p>\n
Still, there were some key points to discuss. Tristan Schoolkate backed up his strong form with a solid win over Joao Fonseca, reminding fans that fast courts and big serves are a dangerous combo in Toronto.<\/p>\n
Mackenzie McDonald dispatched David Goffin in straight sets, showing off his clean ball-striking and comfort on North American hard courts.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, one of the bigger surprises came as Matteo Gigante, a wildcard, took out Borna Coric in three sets.<\/p>\n
The Croatian looked to be cruising after taking the first, but a drop in intensity opened the door, and Gigante didn\u2019t hesitate, handing Coric an early exit that could be a precursor to several seeded players could be in trouble this week.<\/p>\n
With seeded players finally entering on Day 3, Zverev, Medvedev, Rune, and Musetti among them, the tournament might just start resembling a Masters-level event from here on out.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a full breakdown of Day 2 results and what\u2019s ahead on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Tristan Schoolkate def. Joao Fonseca, 7-6(5), 6-4<\/p>\n
Qualifier Tristan Schoolkate produced a statement win over establishment darling Joao Fonseca on Monday.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old Aussie, fresh off a quarter-final run in Los Cabos, wielded his booming serve like a sledgehammer, dropping just four of 37 first-serve points.<\/p>\n
The fast Toronto courts are playing into the hands of big servers, allowing them to dictate with aggressive forehands and net forays as Schoolkate left Fonseca scrambling.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian, who was surely a big favourite for the title given the absence of Alcaraz and Sinner, couldn\u2019t disrupt Schoolkate\u2019s rhythm, especially in a first-set tiebreak where the Aussie\u2019s clutch serving sealed the deal<\/p>\n
Mackenzie McDonald def. David Goffin, 6-4, 6-4<\/p>\n
Mackenzie McDonald kept it clean against David Goffin, securing a 6-4, 6-4 win with his trademark speed and precision.<\/p>\n
This is the perfect type of surface for McDonald\u2019s game as he\u2019s a flat ball striker and has excellent ability to redirect pace. Goffin can do that too, but on outdoor North American hardcourts, Mackie is more at home.<\/p>\n
