Unseeded veteran Pablo Carreno Busta unbelievably won the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Canada; taking out World No. 10 Hubert Hurkacz in thr final. One of the most consistent & intelligent players of his era; Carreno Busta does not have the biggest serve; but uses it to unpredictable effect to unhinge the opposition. He is also very reliable from the baseline; with a unique but accurate two-handed backhand; as do what Spaniards do.
The final included one of the points of the year; when Carreno Busta inexplicably chased down a Hurkacz lob with a devil-may-do desperation fling before ending off the unlikely point with an athletic backhand volley that drew raptures from the crowd; and Hurkacz hurling his racket in disgust. In the end; the Spaniard prevailed for the biggest win of his career; in a tournament featuring other heavyweights such as Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios; Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz; and Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas.
