Canada Masters
The Canada Masters is an annual tennis tournament held in Canada. The men's competition is a Tennis Masters Series event on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) tour. The women's competition is a Tier 1 event on the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) tour. The two competitions are currently held in separate weeks in the July-August period. The events alternate from year-to-year between the cities of Montreal and Toronto. In years when the men's tournament is held in Montreal, the women's tournament is held in Toronto, and vice-versa. The competition is played on hardcourts. The event was previously known as the Canadian Open. Its official sponsored name is currently the Rogers Cup.
The event has a long history. The men's tournament began in 1881, and the women's competition was first held in 1892. Of the major tennis tournaments in the world today, only Wimbledon and the US Open have been around as long.
