Gael Monfils says loss marks his final Toronto visit

Gael Monfils said he has played for the last time in Toronto after crashing out of the Masters in Sunday's opening round of the ATP Masters to a Chilean qualifier. Article content The 38-year-old French tennis icon missed out on four match points to exit 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (7/3) to number 142 Tomas Barrios Vera, who won the first Masters match of his career and ended a seven-match loss streak at the ATP level. Article content Monfils symbolically touched the baseline as he walked off a loser after nearly three hours in torrid summer temperatures approaching 35 Celsius. Article content 'There's no explanation, it's the last one,' he said. 'It will be two years to play (again) in Toronto, so pretty much I won't be able to play it. Obviously I think the next one is too old for me, so I think it was the last time I'll play here.' Article content He added: 'I actually thought at the end, and I was like, 'Well, I think it's, unfortunately, but the last time I think I would play here.'' Article content 'Without taking credit from my opponent, (it was a) bad match from my side, not the quality that I want, not the level that I want to perform,' he said. Article content

Ottawa Charge sign PWHL playoff MVP Gwyneth Philips to 2-year contract extension

Gwyneth Philips will be staying in Ottawa for the next three seasons. After helping the Ottawa Charge advance to the PWHL Finals and winning the Ilana Kloss Playoff MVP Award, Philips has signed a two-year contract extension with the Charge. 'I'm so excited,' Phillips said on CTV Morning Live while announcing the contract extension. 'I can't be more happy to be here and be with this program. I'm really excited for another three years.' Phillips had one more year on her rookie contract with the Charge, and the extension will keep her at TD Place until 2027-28. The 24-year-old from Athens, Ohio was drafted by the Charge in the third round of the 2024 draft. She had an 8-5-1 record in the regular season, with two shutouts. Phillips appeared in all eight playoff games for the Charge as they advanced to the finals, posting a 1.23 goals against average and a .952 save percentage. Phillips was named a finalist for both the PWHL Rookie of the Year and PWHL Goaltender of the Year awards last season. 'This is a very exciting day for our organization,' Charge General Manager Mike Hirshfeld said in a statement. 'Anyone who watched the PWHL Playoffs last year saw what an incredible player Gwyneth is and how she can impact a game. When we drafted her, we believed that she had the ability to be one of the top goaltenders in the world, and after her performances last year, we are even more convinced.' 'Gwyneth told me that she loved playing in Ottawa and this was a perfect fit for her. We are delighted to bring her back for three more seasons.' Last week, the Charge announced first round pick Rory Guilday signed a three-year contract agreement through the 2027-28 season.
