The draw has been completed ahead of the men's Canadian Open Tennis (also known as the National Bank Open or Omnium Banque Nationale) which will be played between August 6-12, 2024. In this case, it will be held in Montreal.
The women's tournament gets held in parallel but it will be in Toronto. But the main theme as with the women's tournament has been withdrawals. In particular for top names who have decided not to play.
Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic both pulled out meaning big star power from them is missing. Jannik Sinner as defending champion instead will anchor the field as World No.1. Also a finalist last year, Daniil Medvedev also returns.
Alexander Zverev, Casper Ruud, Hubert Hurkacz and Stefanos Tsitsipas also lead the field. This means that unlike the women's, the big name cull hasn't been so big in terms of the top 10. But still it lacks some of the big names that are usually made to play Canada.
But the turnaround from the Olympic Games has made it impossible for many to commit with change of surface, jet lag and other such factors with Cincinnati also following on.
Jannik Sinner will face a qualifier or Pedro Martinez in the second round. Also in his section are Tommy Paul (faces Luciano Darderi), Nicolas Jarry, home hero Denis Shapovalov and Andrey Rublev. Finalist last year, Daniil Medvedev faces either Alejandro Davidovich Fokina or Roman Safiullin. Stefanos Tsitsipas faces Alex Michelsen or Kei Nishikori.
While in the bottom half, it could be Jack Draper or Jordan Thompson for Alexander Zverev. Holger Rune faces Milos Raonic. While Mariano Navone takes on Taylor Fritz. Casper Ruud could face Cameron Norrie or Marcos Giron. While Ben Shelton takes on Alexander Bublik in what is bound to be a fun encounter.
