National Bank Open 2025: Canada’s Amazing Premier Tennis Spectacle That Unites Champions and Fans

Every August, the world’s tennis spotlight shifts to Canada as the National Bank Open presented by Rogers brings together top-ranked ATP and WTA athletes. With decades of history and a dedicated fanbase, this prestigious ATP Masters 1000 event transforms Toronto and Montreal into tennis capitals buzzing with passion, performance, and unforgettable moments.

From Humble Beginnings to a Tennis Powerhouse

This tournament isn’t just another stop on the tour — it’s a Canadian summer tradition. Held alternately in Toronto (men’s event) and Montreal (women’s event), the National Bank Open has carved its place in tennis history since its founding in 1881. That makes it the second-oldest tennis tournament in the world, behind only Wimbledon.

What started as a national competition has grown into one of the ATP’s nine elite Masters 1000 tournaments, sitting just below the Grand Slams in prestige. The venues—Sobeys Stadium in Toronto and IGA Stadium in Montreal—welcome thousands of fans and media from around the globe.

Both stadiums feature world-class infrastructure, open fan zones, and food courts serving local flavors. Surrounded by energetic cities, the tournament delivers more than just elite tennis—it’s a celebration of culture, sport, and summer.

Big Stages, Bigger Stars: Legendary Matches and Champions

Over the years, the National Bank Open has hosted fierce rivalries, breakthrough victories, and career-defining performances. The hard-court surface challenges agility and power, offering the perfect battlefield before the US Open.

• Novak Djokovic has shown brilliance on these courts, with multiple appearances in finals that showcased his relentless form.
• Andy Murray, a three-time champion, made headlines with dramatic comebacks and crowd-stirring grit.
