Montreal will host a near‑complete field of the sport’s elite as 71 of the world’s top 72 male tennis players are slated to compete in the National Bank Open. The ATP Tour event, held annually in the city, will feature reigning stars Jannik Sinner and Félix Auger‑Aliassime among the entrants.
The presence of Sinner, a recent Grand Slam champion, and Canadian favorite Auger‑Aliassime underscores the tournament’s reputation for drawing the highest‑ranked competitors. Their participation, together with the broader contingent of top‑ranked players, positions the event as one of the most competitive stops on the tour this season.
Located in Montreal, Quebec, the National Bank Open has become a fixture on the ATP calendar, offering players a chance to compete on hard courts in a North‑American setting ahead of the later summer swing. The tournament’s history of attracting leading talent adds to its prestige and provides local fans with access to world‑class tennis.
With only a single player from the top‑72 rankings absent, the draw reflects an unusually full representation of the sport’s elite. This concentration of top talent is rare on the tour and highlights the event’s appeal to players seeking high‑quality competition and ranking points.
Organizers expect the matches to deliver a high standard of play, given the depth of the field. Spectators can look forward to a series of contests that will feature the game’s leading figures, setting the stage for potential breakthroughs and tightly contested encounters as the tournament progresses.
