This year Montreal will host women’s tennis and Toronto will host men’s tennis.

“After a two-year wait, we are very happy to finally confirm the very first edition of the National Bank Open presented by Rogers will be going ahead this year,” said Eugène Lapierre, Tournament Director of the Montreal tournament. “In the last few months, we have worked extremely hard to create protocols that will ensure the safety of everyone involved in our events, in collaboration with municipal, provincial and federal authorities. The Tennis Canada team and I would like to sincerely thank them for their support in this difficult situation. Their help was invaluable, and it is the reason we are able to organize a safe tournament for everyone today.”

“There are no words to describe how delighted we are to finally be able to host world-class tennis again in Montreal and Toronto,” added Gavin Ziv, Managing Director of the National Bank Open in Toronto. “This is such incredible news for tennis fans across the country. The National Bank Open generates 90% of the revenue Tennis Canada successfully invests in tennis development every year, and the very fact that we are able to host tournaments this year will have a positive impact on the future of our sport. This outcome would not have been possible without the support of the Public Health Agency of Canada, PHAC, and sports and tourism ministries at all levels of government. Special thanks to the Ministry of Canadian Heritage and specifically to Sport Canada, an excellent partner in helping us bring back these two key events in the Canadian sports system.”

“Tennis has played an important role in keeping Canadians inspired, active and healthy over the last year, and our government is pleased that Tennis Canada will host the National Bank Open and welcome the sport’s greatest players back to Montreal and Toronto this year”, said the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Heritage.

The highest priority of the National Bank Open presented by Rogers is to ensure the health and safety of players, fans, staff and the public.
