Rainfall on August 2 and August 3, 2026, halted play at the IGA Stadium in Montreal, causing extensive schedule disruptions at the National Bank Open. The inclement weather forced the tournament to pause for two consecutive days, leaving matches unfinished and pushing the daily timetable well beyond its usual limits.
The National Bank Open, one of Canada’s premier tennis events, is organized by Tennis Canada and draws top international players each summer. With the weather interruption, officials worked to rearrange the remaining matches, extending playing hours where possible and adjusting court assignments to accommodate the backlog. The delays impacted both singles and doubles draws, though the tournament’s exact completion time has not been set.
Tennis Canada has previously indicated plans to modernize the IGA Stadium with a retractable roof in the coming years, a move that would mitigate weather‑related disruptions like those experienced this week. The organization reaffirmed its commitment to delivering a smooth tournament experience while the stadium upgrades are under consideration. Players, staff, and fans were asked to remain flexible as the event adapts to the unexpected weather conditions.
