As an ATP Masters 1000 event, the Canadian Open occupies a vital place on the North American hard-court swing, providing players with an essential opportunity to prepare for the US Open. Each year, the men's and women's events alternate between Montréal and Toronto, with Montréal hosting the ATP tournament in alternating years while Toronto stages the WTA event.
The tournament is played at the impressive IGA Stadium, one of the finest tennis venues in North America. Featuring a modern centre court and outstanding facilities, the venue has become renowned for its passionate crowds and lively atmosphere, regularly producing some of the most memorable matches of the ATP season.
Throughout its long history, the Canadian Open has crowned many of the greatest players ever to grace the sport. Legends including Björn Borg, Ivan Lendl, John McEnroe, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner have all lifted the trophy, cementing its reputation as one of the sport's premier titles outside the Grand Slams.
Fast hard courts, enthusiastic Canadian crowds, and a rich sporting heritage combine to make Montréal one of the ATP Tour's most anticipated destinations each summer.

The historic district of Old Montréal is filled with cobbled streets, elegant nineteenth-century buildings, and lively public squares, while the magnificent Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal stands as one of Canada's architectural masterpieces. Nearby, the Old Port has been transformed into a vibrant waterfront destination featuring parks, restaurants, and year-round entertainment.
Towering above the city is Mount Royal, the hill that gave Montréal its name. Designed in part by Frederick Law Olmsted, who also created New York's Central Park, Mount Royal offers sweeping views across the city's skyline and remains a favourite destination for both residents and visitors.
Montréal is internationally recognised for its festivals, cuisine, and sporting culture. From the Formula One Canadian Grand Prix and the Montréal International Jazz Festival to NHL hockey and world-class tennis, the city embraces major events with enthusiasm and warmth.
