Canadian Open
One of the oldest tournaments in the world, since 1881
Overview
Tennis Canada stages the national championship founded in 1881, alternating annually between Toronto and Montreal, the men and women swapping cities. Hard courts in August make it a key US Open tune up, and champions from Budge to Sampras, the Williams sisters, Djokovic and Alcaraz fill its roll.
