The big news heading into the first of two ATP and WTA 1000 events in the North American hard court season is that the men's event will be without four of the world's top six players after Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Jack Draper and Novak Djokovic all pulled out citing a mixture of injury and fatigue.
That leaves Alexander Zverev and the in-form Taylor Fritz as the top seeds in Toronto, while Alex De Minaur will look to back up his win at last week's Washington Open with another strong display. Home hopefuls come in the form of Felix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov.
The women's event, held this year in Montreal, looks like being a straight fight between Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek, the two most recent grand slam champions. With Aryna Sabalenka prioritizing some time away from the court, French Open champion Gauff and Wimbledon winner Swiatek will look to steal a march on the world number one in the build-up to Flushing Meadows.
Teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva, who won Indian Wells back in the spring, will look to get back her early-season form, with the smart money on Elina Svitolina to continue her stellar 2025 by going deep.

Tennis fans in the U.S. will need the Tennis Channel to watch the 2025 Canadian Open tournament.
The Tennis Channel is available through most cable packages as well as some of the best cable TV alternatives, including Sling TV, Fubo, and DirecTV Stream. Of these options, we recommend Sling and Fubo.

Sky Sports will be showing all the action from the Canadian Open in the UK, so if you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £22/month to add those channels. The games will be shown on Sky Sports Tennis.
Whichever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.

Coco Gauff overcomes 23 double-faults for first win since French Open title
MONTREAL -- Coco Gauff made a winning return to competition on Tuesday night, even though some old serving woes came back with her. Gauff had to overcome 23 double-faults to win for the first time since the French Open final, outlasting fellow American Danielle Collins 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (2) in the second round of the National Bank Open. Gauff hadn't played since losing in the first round at Wimbledon and appeared to have made a change to her serving grip during her time away. She struggled with it during the match, hitting some serves that were well long and others that were soft and easily pounced on by the powerful Collins. 'It was a frustrating match for me," Gauff said. "I felt like I was practicing well and then I don't think I transferred it today, but hopefully I got my bad match of the tournament out of the way and I could come back stronger the next round.' A balky serve ended her U.S. Open title defense last year, when she committed 19 double-faults in a fourth-round loss to Emma Navarro. The serve was even more erratic Tuesday, though Gauff did hit a good one to end the match with an ace. She is the top seed in Montreal due to the withdrawal of top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka, the player Gauff beat to win the French Open in June. Gauff will face Veronika Kudermetova in the third round and said she had plenty left after the match that lasted 2 hours, 55 minutes, adding she could possibly cut that in half if she cleaned up her serve. 'I felt that I was playing well except that part of my game,' Gauff said. 'But I felt like off the ground I was playing pretty well.'

Fans fume over De Minaur and Katie Boulter snub days after Aussie's triumph
Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter will be hoping to get one of the final two places left in the US Open mixed doubles comp after being snubbed from the first round of selections, days after the Aussie won the Citi Open title. The US Open has made a controversial change to the mixed doubles in 2025 with singles ranked players earning preference into the main draw. The winners of the reduced 16 team competition will take home $1 million ($A1.6m) and the tournament will take place the week before the official US Open main card. There has been backlash over the decision to change the format with the combined singles rankings deciding eight teams. This means lower ranked players, who often rely on prize money from mixed doubles at grand slams to survive, have been largely excluded. But it hasn't deterred huge names such as Aryna Sabalenka, Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz entering the competition. De Minaur and Boulter also entered their name in the competition, but missed out on automatic selection because their combined singles ranking was 53 at the time. Despite being fresh off his win at the Citi Open this week, de Minaur and Boulter have missed out on the first six wildcard positions with only two left. American teams were heavily favoured in the wildcard entry with Venus Williams and Reilly Opelka earning a ticket, while popular team Emma Raducanu and Alcaraz also gained entry. Djokovic was granted a wildcard with partner Olga Danilovich and last year's mixed doubles champs Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori made it. Unfortunately, de Minaur and Boulter will have to wait to see if they get one of the final two positions at a later date. But de Minaur has moved to express his interest in the competition and pleaded with the US Open to give them an opportunity. "Katie and I would like to ask for a WC pretty, pretty please," he wrote on social after learning they had missed out on initial selection. While British and Australian fans would like to see de Minaur and Boulter team up again, which hasn't happened officially since Wimbledon 2023, many feel for the mixed doubles pairs that have missed out. Katie and I would like to ask for a WC pretty pretty please 🙏😢 — alex de minaur (@alexdeminaur) July 30, 2025 While 2 places are still open in the new 16 team US Open mixed doubles event, it's surprising not to see Alex De Minaur and Katie Boulter already in the lineup. The field presently has 6 players who have been singles No1's and 9 who have won singles majors. — Craig Gabriel (@crosscourt1) July 29, 2025 Please add Boulter and De Minaur 🙏 — Gerard (@gstzombie) July 29, 2025 Tennis calls out US Open mixed doubles event The format changes have been heavily criticised among fans and the players. Dedicated doubles and mixed doubles players no longer have another avenue of playing in a grand slam and earning money at the US Open. Many of the lower ranked players were getting by on the tour thanks to entering mixed doubles competitions and earning money. Grand slams are the highest paying tournaments for these players. The US Open halving the number of pairs and favouring singles rankings has all but ended any chance of lower ranked tennis players earning money at Flushing Meadows. This has seen the tournament face backlash to their decision, which goes against tennis tradition. When the US Open announced the changes, Aussie mixed doubles player Ellen Perez led the frustration. The Aussie is World No.19 in doubles, but currently unranked in singles. The 29-year-old joined the chorus of players unleashing on the rule changes having suggested the US Open has disrespected the tradition of tennis. Tell us that you think doubles players are trash, that tradition is overrated and job opportunity is a thing of the past without actually saying it. 🤡👏 — Ellen Perez (@EllenPerez95) February 11, 2025 Alex de Minaur wins Citi Open title While de Minaur may have been deflated him and his fiancee were not selected in the first round of selections for the US Open, he would be elated having won the Citi Open in Washington earlier this week. De Minaur came from behind to beat Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Fokina was in tears after the match with de Minaur saving three championship points on his way to the three-set victory. De Minaur noticed how distraught his opponent was and immediately went to console him. The Aussie was seen sitting next to Fikona before wrapping an arm around his opponent and offering some words of encouragement. Tennis fans and commentators were blown away by de Minaur's gesture, which came before he even properly celebrated the victory with the trophy.

Venus Williams receives wild card entry for US Open mixed doubles at 45 years old
Venus Williams is 45 years old and about to play in a Grand Slam again. The longtime tennis star received a wild-card entry into the mixed doubles field of the US Open on Tuesday, the tournament announced, setting her up to play alongside partner Reilly Opelka at Flushing Meadows. She will be joined by several other stars in the field, including Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek. When she takes the court, it will be Williams' first appearance at a Grand Slam in any field since the same tournament in 2023, where she entered the singles draw via another wild card and was eliminated in the first round by qualifier Greet Minnen. Since then, Williams has been mostly inactive while going through health issues, including a surgery to remove uterine fibroids. She made her return last week at the D.C. Open, where she won both a singles and doubles match for the first time in 2016. Williams surprised former NCAA champion Peyton Stearns, then ranked 35th in the world, in the first round of the singles draw before losing to fifth seed Magdalena Fręch in the second round. Opelka, Williams' doubles partner, is currently 74th on the ATP Tour's men's singles rankings. He is 27 years old and notably tied for the tour's tallest-ever player at 6-foot-11, which gives him one of the nastiest serves in tennis. Williams is a 23-time Grand Slam champion, with seven singles titles, 14 doubles titles and two mixed doubles titles. She played her first US Open in 1997, when she made the singles finals at 17 years old. She has nothing to prove at this stage, but raised some eyebrows last week when asked why she decided to return to tennis in her mid-40s. Venus Williams is doing this for the health insurance (sort of) At the end of her first-round post-match interview, Williams provided a small peak behind the curtain of how professional athletes go about healthcare, revealing that she was actually on COBRA, which allows employees to stay on their employer's health insurance after losing benefits. Here's what she said: 'I had to come back for the insurance, because they informed me earlier this year I'm on COBRA. So that's like, I got to get my benefits on ... You guys know what it's like. Let me tell you, I am always at the doctor, so I need this insurance.' To be clear, Williams was joking there. She said it all that with a smile and called it a "fun and funny moment" after her second match. However, many people and outlets took the statement quite seriously, with some of them using it as a jumping-off point to discuss broader healthcare issues. It is true that health insurance coverage is an issue for many retiring athletes. Active professional athletes get some of the best health insurance in the world for obvious reasons, and having to figure out coverage after retirement is a challenge for many people who just exited the most lucrative stage of their lives. While clarifying the tongue-in-cheek moment following the second match, Williams said in the same breath that it was a "serious issue" and one "that people are dealing with." With $42.7 million in career earnings from her WTA career and likely much more than that from her endorsements, Williams isn't one of those people (barring astonishing financial mismanagement). Given the choice, she will take the WTA's insurance because it gives her one less thing to worry about, but it's a stretch to say she is still playing because she needs the insurance.
