H2H: 1-1 Grigor Dimitrov has won four of his last five matches.This is his first tournament after he retired mid-match at Wimbledon against Medvedev. Here in Montreal, Grigor looked fit and ready. He defeated Hijikata 6-1 6-0. Dimitrov lost only one game at the beginning of the first set. After that, Hijikata was helpless on the court. At the beginning of the season, Dimitrov won the title in Brisbane, which was his only title this season.

Jessica Pegula began her quest for a rare Montréal-Toronto double at the National Bank Open on Wednesday night, brushing aside Karolina Pliksova, 7-5, 6-4. The defending champion is aiming to become the first woman since Martina Hingis in 1999 and 2000 to win back-to-back titles in Canada, and got off to the best possible start under the Center Court lights with a 91-minute victory over the former world No. 1.

Grigor Dimitrov has already played a doubles match in Montreal, but this will be his first singles match since tearing his abductor at Wimbledon. The Bulgarian has spent a lot of time practicing to get himself ready for this, but it could take some time for him to settle in during a match, and find his pre-injury level. That’s why I like the idea of backing Rinky Hijikata to win a set in their second-round contest at the National Bank Open.

Pick of the Day: Rinky Hijikata vs. Grigor Dimitrov, Montreal

PARIS (AP) — Down by 11 in the fourth quarter, against what looked like overwhelming odds, the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team got a spark. Six points in two seconds. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker provided that wild sequence to start the comeback, Stephen Curry had a scoring night like almost none other in U.S. Olympic history, and the Americans will play for gold at the Paris Games. Curry scored 36 points, including a go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:16 left, and the U.S. beat Serbia 95-91 in a semifinal classic on Thursday night.

After upsetting Tommy Paul, Brandon Nakashima will now look to pull another surprise against Andrey Rublev at the National Bank Open in Montreal. Nakashima is now 12-6 in his last 18 matches, and he’s also up to 42-22 in 2024 across the ATP and Challenger levels. Meanwhile, Rublev is just 5-5 in his last 10 matches and looks extremely vulnerable. This is a good opportunity for Nakashima to put himself on the map.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.
