Top Highlights

Stan Wawrinka def. Grigor Dimitrov, 6-4, 6-4

Wawrinka pulled off a straight-set victory over Dimitrov, but it didn't come easy.

The former World No. 3 was tested in each set, needing 95 minutes to take care of business. Wawrinka's biggest edge came on first-serve points, as he came out on top in 86 percent (31 of 36) of such occasions. Dimitrov won the point on first serves on a respectable 62 percent (26 of 42).

Wawrinka piled up 12 aces; Dimitrov managed only two. Unfortunately for Dimitrov, six double-faults also proved costly.

It marked the 150th ATP Masters 1000 victory of the 34-year-old's career, per Tennis TV. He has three major titles on his resume, with Wimbledon the only event keeping him from the career Grand Slam.

Wawrinka improves to 6-4 all-time versus Dimitrov, winning each of their last four meetings.

Wawrinka will now face sixth-seeded Karen Khachanov in the round of 32.

[16] Anett Kontaveit def. [WC] Maria Sharapova, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4

On a day in which nine of the first 11 matchups in the women's draw had straight-set results, Montreal was due for a competitive battle.

Sharapova and Kontaveit more than delivered.

The 32-year-old Sharapova came out strong against her 23-year-old opponent, using a strong forehand to power herself to a first-set victory:

However, Kontaveit didn't back down against the five-time Grand Slam champ. She responded by taking the second set, 6-3:

That set up a winner-take-all third set for the right to move on.

The third set was a battle to the finish, with neither Sharapova nor Kontaveit able to hold a clear advantage early on. With the third set tied at four games apiece, they battled deep into the ninth game as neither wanted to move within a game of elimination.

Ultimately, it was Kontaveit who was able to prevail—despite Sharapova owning the serve.

That essentially decided the match, as Kontaveit finished off her opponent in the 10th game...two hours and 41 minutes after the match started.

In the end, she was able to overcome losing the first set and defeat Sharapova for the first time by winning each of the final two sets in a two-hour, 41-minute battle. Sharapova had won their only previous meeting, which came in Stuttgart, Germany, in 2017.

Kontaveit awaits the winner of Tuesday's match between Venus Williams and Carla Suarez Navarro in the round of 32.
