The National Bank Open presented by Rogers is a crown jewel of Canadian sports, standing as the third-oldest active tennis tournament in the world.
With roots dating back to 1881 for men and 1892 for women, this event is a vital stop for athletes preparing for the US Open.
Unique for its dual-city hosting model, the tournament alternates annually between Montreal’s IGA Stadium and Toronto’s Sobeys Stadium.
As a prestigious ATP and WTA 1000 event, it attracts the world’s elite talent.
Recently, the tournament expanded to a 12-day, 96-player format, which allows for better player recovery and mirrors the structure of Grand Slams.
Beyond the intense on-court action, the National Bank Open is a cultural phenomenon, boasting a festival atmosphere that boosts local economies and inspires the next generation of Canadian tennis stars.
Whether you are a die-hard fan or a newcomer to the sport, the National Bank Open is a premier showcase of athleticism and tradition that continues to shape the future of professional tennis.
