Toronto & Montreal -- Russian Daniil Medvedev and Italian Camila Giorgi won the National Bank Open men's and women's singles titles on Sunday in Toronto and Montreal, respectively, as the US Open Series reaches its penultimate week.
Medvedev, the world No. 2, defeated 23-year-old
American Reilly Opelka, 6-4, 6-3, to win his 12th career ATP title and add to his success at US Open Series tournaments. The 25-year-old won his first ATP Masters 1000 title in Cincinnati in 2019 and was named the Series' Breakout Performer before reaching the singles final at the US Open.
