Command Analysis
McDonald defeated Giovanni Mpeshi (6-7, 6-3, 6-4) in the first round of qualifying for the Montreal tournament. In the match against the Frenchman, Mackenzie served four aces, converted two break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. For the American, this was only the second victory on open hard court this season. It should be noted that two years ago, McDonald lost to Alex Molchan in the first round in Montreal.

James served six aces, converted two break points and did not lose a single game on his serve in the match against the Argentine. For the Australian, this was the 17th victory on open hard this season with nine losses. Let us recall that Duckworth played in the final of the Shenzhen Challenger on this surface this year.

McDonald is not yet one hundred percent ready. The American, let us recall, is returning to action after lung problems. We do not think that the American's current playing condition will be enough to defeat Duckworth, who is in good shape.
