Canadian Open Toronto 2025 ATP: Entry List, Schedule of play, Draw, Prize Money and Predictions

The Masters 1000 Canadian Open is scheduled to take place from July 27 to August 7 and it begins the run in to the US Open in the coming weeks.

The tournament will be held in Toronto – unlike last year's event in Montreal. The Canadian Open alternates its men's and women's draws, rotating between the two cities annually. The 2024 edition saw perhaps the biggest surprise of a Masters tournament that year, with Australian Alexei Popyrin claiming the title, defeating rivals like Ben Shelton, Grigor Dimitrov, and Andrey Rublev in the final.

The court conditions have often led to surprising champions and finalists, especially considering that most top stars arrive without prior hardcourt tournaments. Sinner was due to be top seed but he lead a mass exodus of withdrawals.

Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic also entered that list. Names like Alexander Zverev (3rd seed) and Taylor Fritz (5th seed) will headline the draw.

Djokovic hasn't participated since 2018, when he was surprisingly eliminated in the third round. It is the Masters tournament he has played least often during the latter part of his career, and a last-minute withdrawal from the Serb would not be a surprise, as he often avoids overloading his schedule before a Grand Slam. Nevertheless, it wouldn't be strange if he changed his custom from recent years, considering he already did so before the French Open, adding Geneva to his calendar at the last moment. That decision brought him good results – securing his 100th title – and allowed him to arrive at Roland Garros with higher match rhythm and confidence.

When is the draw for the Canadian Open ATP 2025?

Both draw ceremonies will take place on Friday July 25 at 12pm local time which is at around 18:00 CET. The draw will be added here with the results to follow.

When is the Schedule confirmed for Canadian Open ATP 2025?

The schedule will be forthcoming after the draw and will take place in the coming days with the action starting on Sunday 27 July led by Alexander Zverev.

Predictions

Samuel Gill, Head Editor for TennisUpToDate.com sees a bit of an against the grain champion coming from the next few weeks.

The Canadian Open is a bit of a strange mistress in the ATP as the debate roars on consistently about the fact that players are just not given the time off especially given that Cincinnati is the week after.

In the WTA it is not really an issue as much with the top names still playing as of time of writing. But Sinner, Alcaraz, Djokovic and Draper have decided instead to stay on holiday instead of play this tournament.
