The National Bank Open returns, with Toronto hosting the ATP event and Montreal hosting the WTA event in 2025.
The latest: This year’s draw is thin at the top, especially on the men’s side. Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic are among the talent missing, meaning the ATP event is wide open. Iga Swiatek, fresh off a Wimbledon title, is a frontrunner on the women’s side with Aryna Sabalenka absent.

Men’s National Bank Open notes
- No. 1 Sinner, No. 2 Alcaraz and No. 6 Djokovic have won each of the last 13 grand slams, with the Italian and Spaniard taking the past seven. With that said, it’s fair for Canadian tennis fans to be disappointed that none of them are playing. Jack Draper and Tommy Paul are other notable absentees.
- But how about the players in the draw? Alexander Zverev is the top seed, with Taylor Fritz at No. 2. Zverev is in tough form by his standards, bowing out of Wimbledon in the first round and winning just one ATP title this year (BMW Munich in April).
- Fritz beat Zverev in the Boss Open final to claim his second of three ATP titles this year. He also enjoyed a career-best run at Wimbledon, advancing to the semifinal before losing to Alcaraz.
- One player to keep an eye on is Alex de Minaur, who won the Citi DC Open final on Sunday. Like all seeded players, the nine-time ATP winner has a bye to the Round of 64. Will that be enough to offset fatigue?
- Daniil Medvedev is searching for his first ATP title of the season and enters in shaky form. He was ousted in the first round at Wimbledon and lost to unseeded Corentin Moutet in DC.
Canadian men’s odds
- This is the first time Canada has had three seeded men in the tournament.
- No. 21 Felix Auger-Aliassime leads the way. FAA has a 14-6 record on hard courts this year and has a favourable draw with Ben Shelton being the toughest opponent in his quadrant.
- Denis Shapovalov had a strong start to the season, besting Fritz, Tommy Paul and Casper Ruud en route to winning the Dallas Open. After a few tough months, he returned to the winner’s circle, capturing the Los Cabos 250 event in July.
- Gabriel Diallo (+5,000) is having a nice rookie season on the ATP Tour, winning the Libema Open 250 event in June. But he’s struggled to beat top-end opponents, losing to both Frtiz and Shelton this month.
Women’s NBO betting notes
| Competitor | Betting odds |
| Iga Swiatek | +240 |
| Coco Gauff | +650 |
| Mirra Andreeva | +900 |
| Elena Rybakina | +1,100 |
| Madison Keys | +1,400 |
| Amanda Anisimova | +1,800 |
| Jessica Pegula | +2,000 |

| Marketa Vondrousova | +2,800 |
| Naomi Osaka | +3,300 |
| Jasmine Paolini | +3,300 |
| Diana Shnaider | +3,300 |
| Emma Raducanu | +3,300 |
- Top-seeded Coco Gauff headlines the women’s draw with Swiatek right behind. The American and Polish stars just won the French Open and Wimbledon, respectively, and are at the top of their games.
- Last year’s winner, Jessica Pegula, is the third seed. The American is 35-14 this year with a 20-7 record on hardcourts.
Canadian women’s odds
- Leylah Fernandez enters this event on a high … but is that a good thing? The Canadian just won the Citi DC Open, having played north of eight hours of tennis in the four days leading up to this event. She doesn’t have a bye and will be right back at it on Monday morning.
- Bianca Andreescu (+9,000) suffered another injury scare during match point of her opening-round win on Sunday, but fought through it to advance to the Round of 64. The former champion hasn’t played a full season since 2019, when she won this event and the US Open, and is 9-8 this year.
- Genie Bouchard bids her farewell to professional tennis where it all began, in her hometown of Montreal. The Canadian is an underdog to advance past the opening round, but she’ll surely draw a big crowd in her retirement tour.
