Tennis Tips Today – 08.08.2026 Showdown in Montreal
Especially at the time when the Bundesliga is on summer vacation, our tennis tips are more in demand today than ever. Especially in August many renowned ATP & WTA tournaments are held worldwide.
Because this Saturday so many exciting competitions will take place at the same time in their decisive phase, I have for you three the same Matches in Montreal, two in Toronto and another at the Challenger in Hagen.
Montreal Tips today 08.08.: Rinderknech – Nakashima (18:30)
In the round of 16 of the National Bank Open in Montréal, the French service specialist Arthur Rinderknech and US precision player Brandon Nakashima into the ring.
Rinderknech recently underlined his current hard court form impressively by defeating the favored US boy Frances Tiafoe in the previous round and had previously eliminated Miomir Kecmanovic in two in contested sets.
Brandon Nakashima, on the other hand, had to pay for his ticket to the next round Invest a bit more sweat.
Because against the tough French qualifier Titouan Droguet the American initially fell behind, turned the game around set deficit thanks to his usual baseline stability and finally triumphed 4-6, 6-2, 7-5.
By the way: The only duel between the two so far dates back to May 2023 at the clay court event in Lyon, where Nakashima was defeated in a dramatic three-set thriller (7-6, 1-6, 7-5).
That’s one of the reasons why I keep my betting slip for the American! Because Nakashima brings the more fluid transition game and the more consistent return values, with which he can use Rinderknech’s serve offensive in the decisive rallies.
My tip: Nakashima in possibly smooth sentences!
Montreal Tips today 08.08.: Borges – Darderi (16:00)
Montréal becomes an arena for a real contrasting spectacle: On the one hand, side of the Portuguese precision mechanic Nuno Borges, on the Luciano Darderi – Italy’s tennis hothead.
Until then, Borges had swept through the tableau like a vacuum cleaner and let Tomás Martín Etcheverry simply stood in the rain at 6-2, 6-2. Darderi against Juncheng Shang, on the other hand, had to dig deep in the dirt before he comeback to 4-6, 6-1, 6-4.
In the history books, Borges is ahead 2-1: Although Darderi gave him the last one just a few weeks ago in Bastad, Sweden. Duel, but Borges served the Italian shortly before in Mallorca ice-cold.
In all likelihood, it will be close this time as well, but I guess nevertheless on Borges! His balls fly flatter than Darderi tastes, and because the Portuguese looks much fresher physically, he will seize the reins of action from the very beginning.
My tip: Probably go into the deciding set!
Montreal Tips today 08.08.: Fils – Norrie (18:30)
The French rough diamond Arthur Fils strikes with an elemental force, who are otherwise only known from heavyweight.
Norrie, on the other hand, plays tennis like a chess grandmaster with infinite Perseverance – he does not seek the point of spectacle, but waits patiently, until the opponent bites the net in frustration.
Fils has so far shot his way through the bracket, while Norrie proved against de Minaur that he literally only dies when the last ball lands out of bounds.
My prediction for today’s duel? Fils in three sentences. If the Frenchman once he brings his forehand whip to operating temperature, the Hut – in the end, Norrie’s best Defensive work nothing more.
My tip: Arthur Fils on the way to the final!
Toronto Tips today 08.08.: Kostyuk – Swiatek (18:00)
This is where the revenge wave is rolling! As recently as May, Marta Kostyuk retained the round of 16 of the French Open surprisingly smoothly in two sets and swept Swiatek out of the clay classic. Now the scenery on the fast hard courts of Canada.
Both ladies have so far switched to full speed in Toronto without further ado: Kostyuk recently humiliated Madison Keys with a tough 6-3, 6-1 win from the Place. Swiatek is in no way inferior and marched after an equally dominant 6-2, 6-1 against Viktorija Golubic into the round of sixteen.
However, the Pole has much more pull on the hard court baseline strokes and the bankruptcy from Paris against Kostyuk will not be want to sit on them. Kostyuk is aggressive as usual but Swiatek’s huge return should end up with the To be decisive.
My tip: Swiatek with a strong performance!
Toronto Tips today 08.08.: Pegula – Shnaider (18:00)
For Diana Shnaider, Jessica Pegula is slowly but surely developing to the tangible trauma: Just a few days ago, on August 1 in the semi-finals from Washington, the two met – Pegula shot an early 2:5 behind and pulled the tooth of the Russian ice-cold.
Shnaider brings enormous speed and disgusting left-handed spin, but regularly runs into a wall against the American. Pegula usually takes the ball extremely early, defuses Shnaider’s projectiles effortlessly and forces the 22-year-old into the defensive again and again.
Pegula has already won each of the four direct duels and should this time as well. The world number three will win the To set the rhythm and bag the quarterfinals without losing a big set.
My tip: This opponent suits Pegula very well!
Hagen Tips today 08.08.: Gentzsch – Piros (15:10)
In the semi-finals of the Platzmann Open in Lüdenscheid on Saturday, August 8, 2026 the shreds: Local hero Tom Gentzsch asks the number three seeded Hungarians Zsombor Piros for the dance.
Home game ecstasy meets Hungarian clay routine! Gentzsch danced through a German quarter-final derby on Friday and dragged Henri Squire 6-3, 7-6.
The 22-year-old is currently serving himself on the home clay in a intoxication and brings exactly the emotional force that the friendly Lüdenscheid backdrop.
Gentzsch is carried by the home crowd firing from all cylinders, while Piros is too tactically adept to be taken by surprise. The tastes like the next marathon, in which nuances and nerves of steel in the final phase.
My tip: Gentzsch inspires with the support with 2:1!
