The Canadian Open (Canada Masters, known for sponsorship reasons as the Rogers Cup)
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.
Since 1980 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 and the Montreal tournament is held at the
IGA Stadium.

The current singles champions as of the 2017 tournament are Alexander Zverev (def.
RogerThe men's tournament began in 1881, and was held at the Toronto Lawn Tennis
Club, while the women's competition was first held in 1892. Of the major tennis
tournaments in the world today, only Wimbledon and the US Open have been around
longer.

Prior to 1968 the tournament was known as the Canadian National Championships.
Between 1970 and 1989 it was a major event of the Grand Prix Tennis Tour as part of
the Grand Prix Super Series. The tournament was sponsored for a number of years by
tobacco brands. In the 1970s, Rothmans International was the chief sponsor,
followed by Player's Limited in the 1980s, and then Du Maurier from 1997 to 2000.
Federal legislation, however, then came into effect that banned tobacco
advertising. Rogers Communications, a Canadian communications and media company,
took over as the new presenting sponsor.

The event was played on clay until 1979 when it switched permanently to hard
courts. Both the men's and women's tournaments were played as a single combined
tournament at the National Tennis Centre in Toronto until 1981, when the men's
tournament was played at the Jarry Park Stadium in Montreal for the first time.
Similarly 1982 was the first year in which the women's tournament was played in
Montreal.
