The Canadian Open is the first combined WTA and ATP tournament of the 1000 category. Women’s events will be held on the outdoor hardcourts of IGA Stadium in Montreal, Quebec, while those of men’s will be held at the Sobeys Stadium in Toronto, Ontario.

Women’s World No.4 Jessica Pegula and Men’s World No.24 will be entering the tournament as the defending champions. Pegula, in fact, is the two-time defending champion.

In 2023, she outclassed Liudmila Samsonova, while in 2024, she beat Amanda Anisimova. The 23-year-old American ace played her first Grand Slam final earlier this month at Wimbledon, but she failed to end the event in her favor.

Former World No.1 Iga Swiatek took 57 minutes to hand a double bagel to Anisimova, becoming the second woman after Steffi Graf to do so in a Grand Slam final. Swiatek was a semifinalist in the Canadian tournament in 2023 but had skipped it last year.

Men’s World No.3 Alexander Zverev and Women’s World No.2 Coco Gauff are the first seeds at the Canadian Open. While Gauff has never progressed beyond the quarterfinals, Zverev was the champion in 2017. He beat 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer.

Several top players have decided to skip the event. Jannik Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka, Novak Djokovic, and Carlos Alcaraz won’t be playing. Djokovic, in fact, hasn’t participated in the event since 2019. They are expected to kick-start their campaign in North America at the Cincinnati Masters. Djokovic’s participation, however, is uncertain. He last lifted the title in 2023.

The last Canadian WTA ace to win the home tournament was Bianca Andreescu in 2019 (defeated 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams). On the ATP tour, however, no player has lifted the title. Former World No.3 Milos Raonic is the only finalist from Canada (lost to 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal in 2013).

Ivan Lendl, the former eight-time Grand Slam champion, has reached the most finals (nine) and lifted the most titles (six). On the women’s side, 18-time Grand Slam singles champion Chris Evert and nine-time Grand Slam champion Monica Seles have won the most (four each).

Following the two 1000s events, the tennis world will shift its focus onto the last Major of the season- the US Open. Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner will enter the tournament as the defending champions. Both the World No.1s lifted their career’s first title at Flushing Meadows by defeating home favorites (Jessica Pegula and Taylor Fritz), respectively.

The Canadian Open doesn’t offer equal prize money to the men’s and women’s players. The total prize pool for men’s events is $9,193,540, while for women, it’s $5,152,599. Women’s and men’s champions will get $752,275 and $1,124,380, respectively.
