Second seed Daniil Medvedev will on Thursday take on 16th seed Lorenzo Musetti in the Canadian Open third round. Lorenzo Musetti bounced back from a loss in the first set to defeat the qualifier Thanasi Kokkinakis in the last round. It was his first dropped set of the tournament after he won his opener against Yoshihito Nishioka in straight sets. The Italian is having a decent campaign and will hope this translates to prolonging his debut in Toronto. He has compiled a 28-18 record with six of his victories coming in his 10 outings on hard court. Advancing to this round has moved him up one place to 18th in the live ranking.

Medvedev is a former Rogers Cup winner. He achieved this feat in 2021 three seasons after he had lost in the final. With his form in 2023, the Russian will fancy his chances of being winning this edition. Medvedev is one of the in-form players on the tour this year. He has won 47 of the 56 matches he has played. Twenty-five of his victories have come in 28 outings on hard court, a surface where three of his five titles have come. Medvedev is making his sixth appearance in this Masters 1000 tournament. The world number three began things off with a 2-0 win over the qualifier Matteo Arnaldi. His first match since his semifinal finish at Wimbledon, lasted for an hour and 26 minutes. The winner here will advance to play either eighth-seed Taylor Fritz or unseeded Alex de Minaur in the quarterfinals.
