# Darderi beats Borges, meets Nakashima in Montreal Open quarterfinal 2026-08-09T06:06:22+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Luciano Darderi beat Nuno Borges 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 to reach the Montreal Masters quarterfinal on Saturday. The Italian, ranked 22, will next face American Brandon Nakashima, who defeated Arthur Rinderknech 7-6 (7/4), 5-7, 7-5 in a rain-interrupted match. Darderi used an espresso during a changeover to fuel his comeback. He is playing in his 10th quarterfinal of the season, an ATP-leading number, and earned his 30th win of 2026. Spanish teen Rafael Jodar, 19, ousted eighth seed Jiri Lehecka 6-3, 6-3 to also reach the last eight. Jodar, runner-up last week in Washington, will face French 18th seed Arthur Fils, who beat Cameron Norrie 6-2, 7-6 (8). A Montreal title would lift Jodar into the top 10 for the first time. ## Coverage - sportstar.thehindu.com Tags: ATP, Brandon Nakashima, Luciano Darderi, Montreal Open, Rafael Jodar, tennis Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/darderi-beats-borges-meets-nakashima-in-montreal-open-quarterfinal/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
