The US Open Hard Court gathers pace in earnest as both the ATP and WTA Tours roll into Toronto and Montreal in what promises to be a fascinating week in Canada. Here are our top Rogers Cup 2019 betting tips.

Tournament History

Also known as the Canadian Open, it is the third-oldest tournament in world tennis – with only Wimbledon and the US Open holding events for longer. The first tournament was held in 1881and was originally played on grass courts but moved to become a hard court event in the 1970s as part of the US Open summer series of tournaments.

Format

The event is both an ATP Masters 1000 and WTA Premier 5 Event and is one of the flagship events on the world tennis calendar for both male and female players. It’s played over one week – like most premier events on the tours meaning fans can expect to see some of the world’s best players in action throughout the week.

Both draws feature 64 players meaning the world’s elite are all in action in Canada this week.

Venue

The men’s event takes place at the IGA Stadium in Montreal whilst the women’s event is held in Toronto at the Aviva Centre.

Dates

Monday 5^th August – Sunday 11^th August 2019

With its’ fabled history, this is the 139^th edition of the Canadian Open meaning many of the biggest names in the history of the game have won the Rogers Cup in the past.

The women’s event is 127 years old and too has had its fair share of big-name winners over its long history. Monica Seles shares the record in the open era with 4 tournament wins – consecutively between 1995-98- as has Chris Evert, whilst serial Grand Slam winners Serena Williams and Martina Navratilova have won the Canadian Open 3 times each.

Fellow big names Justine Henin, Steffi Graf, Amelie Mauresmo and Martina Hingis have won the title on two occasions apiece. 2019 Wimbledon champion, Simona Halep picked up the trophy last year and she will be one of the favourites to defend her crown this week.
