Canadian Open Montreal WTA 2025: Schedule of play, Draw, Results, Prize Money and Predictions
WTAFriday, 08 August 2025 at 05:24
The WTA 1000 Canadian Open is due to take place between July 27 and August 7, serving as the next major commitment for the WTA's biggest stars. It will be the tournament that kicks off the North American hardcourt swing for many of them, with two WTA 1000 events and the US Open to culminate a vital part of the season.
It will be a new opportunity to see the top stars reunited, led by Coco Gauff (top seed). It will also be a chance to see recent Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek (3rd) back in action. The Pole's title changes things for the second half of the year. Aryna Sabalenka has since withdrawn.
The tournament – which alternates yearly between Toronto and Montreal – has American Jessica Pegula as a two-time defending champion, seeded third on this occasion. The tournament will feature a main draw packed with major stars, and in fact, six players from the top 10 will have this as their first hardcourt tournament after Wimbledon.
Conditions in Canada have often led to surprises. A year ago, it marked a turning point for Amanda Anisimova – this week's Wimbledon finalist – who reached the most important final of her career in 2024.
It will also be an opportunity for revenge for players like Mirra Andreeva, Madison Keys and Elena Rybakina – who will look to rediscover their best level on hardcourts and start the path towards the year's last Grand Slam in the best possible way.

Prize Money
While the men share $9,193,540 with $1,124,360, it is as ever not known with the WTA what the prize money breakdown is.
It will likely be confirmed around the time of the draw and will be updated on TennisUpToDate when it is completed. Albeit it will definitely increase with the men's going from $6,796,555 last year. The women's was nearly exactly half with $3,211,715 overall.
Predictions
Samuel Gill, Head Editor for TennisUpToDate.com sees a bit more of a closer tournament with most of the women playing in Montreal.
Only Aryna Sabalenka and numerous others who were injured including Zheng Qinwen and Paula Badosa are among those winning so in reality it should be a pretty good line-up.
I see Jessica Pegula coming to the fore with the American going for a three peat. Amanda Anisimova I also see having a good week, the same can be said for Elena Rybakina.
Albeit it is slightly hard to gauge especially with most of the top names also playing in Washington this week so it depends on those runs.
But also Canada often has a shock factor so I'm going for the likes of Bianca Andreescu and also Maria Sakkari, the latter is having a good week so far in Washington to upset the applecart.

Cristhian Avila, Editor for TennisUpToDate.com sees Swiatke and Pegula on an even keel.
Recent champion Iga Swiatek hasn’t received the credit she deserves on hard courts, with four WTA 1000 titles – in addition to her 2022 US Open crown. After a frustrating 2024, she arrives at this stage of the season more confident than ever. The Wimbledon champion is the player to beat in the draw.Jessica Pegula has the best track record at the Canadian Open among the field, with a 17–2 record (two titles, two semifinals). The two-time defending champion benefits from her ability to adapt quickly and her experience. A Swiatek/Pegula final for the fourth time wouldn’t be a surprise.Coco Gauff comes in as the top seed, and her outstanding season backs her up. However, I see her slightly behind Swiatek and Pegula this time.
The world No. 2 didn’t shine in the four WTA 1000s on hard courts earlier this year: two first-round exits and a modest 4–4 record. Amanda Anisimova will have to prove she can mentally move on from the Wimbledon final. With the level she's shown and her 2024 finalist status, she’ll have a real shot in Canada. Mirra Andreeva should also be in the mix: titles in Dubai and Indian Wells this year are her credentials to go for the trophy.I see Elena Rybakina and Elina Svitolina as well-positioned – both have been consistent throughout the season, and their experience will work in their favour. Undoubtly, two names no one will want to face early on – and who are not among the top 8 seeds.

- Osaka cannot excuse her failure to address Mboko or her team, or even the fans. Mentally weak, and always has been, for this (or any?) sport. There is no walking-back that poor sportsmanship. Not even her patented crying to the cameras is going to justify that post match display.

Saw an Ad on Instagram regarding part time job with amazon, i went and follow instructions and i was assisted by lady Maria with through at first all went well until my task was above and i had to top up to complete task and be able to withdraw.

- I like Shnaider as a player, and a person. However, judging by his carefully worded statements, it seems Coach Martinez realized limitations in Diana. At some point instructors and coaches need to just say so; to themselves as well as their players. BTW: The headline is disingenuous at best.mandoist05-08-2025
