The Tournament:
The Canadian Open (also known as the Canada Masters, and known as the Rogers Cup presented by National Bank for sponsorship reasons) is an annual tennis tournament held in Canada. The men's competition is a Masters 1000 event on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) tour. The women's competition is a Premier 5 tournament on the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) tour. The competition is played on hard courts.
The events alternate from year to year between the cities of Montreal and Toronto. In odd-numbered years, the men's tournament is held in Montreal, while the women's tournament is held in Toronto, and vice versa in even-numbered years. Before 2011, they were held during separate weeks in the July–August period, now the two competitions are held during the same week in August. The Toronto tournament is held at the Aviva Centre, York University, and the Montreal tournament is held at the Stade Uniprix. Src: Wiki
The Players:
The Olympics and a spate of injuries to top players have hit the 2016 Edition of the Rogers Cup hard. Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray will all be absent from this year's Canadian Open.
World Number One Novak Djokovic will still be in attendance. Djokovic has won the event on three previous occasions and will be a strong favourite going into the tournament. Stan Wawrinka, Kei Nishikori and Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic head up the pick of the seeds.
About City
Toronto, the provincial capital of Ontario, Canada, is a large, ethnically diverse city sprawling along Lake Ontario’s northwestern shore. A dynamic metropolis with a core of soaring skyscrapers, all dwarfed by the iconic CN Tower, it also features abundant green spaces, from the orderly oval of Queen’s Park to 400-acre High Park and its trails, sports facilities and zoo.
