2025 Canadian Open Overview
The upcoming 2025 Canadian Open is set to take place from July 27 to August 7, showcasing notable prize purses and ranking points for participants in this prestigious 1000-level tournament. A distinctive feature of the Canadian Open is that the event is divided geographically for men and women: the ATP matches will occur in Toronto, while the women’s matches will be held in Montreal.
Last Year’s Champions
Last year, Alexei Popyrin achieved an unexpected triumph by claiming the men’s singles title, edging out Andrey Rublev in a final that surprised many. On the women’s side, Jessica Pegula successfully defended her title, overcoming Amanda Anisimova in a tightly contested final, displaying her skills as the world No. 3.
Notable Absences and Emerging Stars
However, not all top competitors will be present this year. Carlos Alcaraz, who has yet to win the Canadian Open, will miss the tournament for the second consecutive year. His absence follows his decision to skip the 2024 Montreal event in order to recuperate after competing for the gold medal at the 2024 Olympics.
Emerging stars in women’s tennis, such as Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek, are set to compete. Neither has claimed the Canadian title previously, but both will be eager to change that narrative with strong performances this time.
Prize Money and Ranking Points
In terms of financial incentives, the men’s singles champion will be awarded a handsome prize of $1,124,380, along with 1,000 ranking points, which serves as a significant motivator for ATP players aiming for the title. In comparison, while the prize for the women’s champion stands at a lower $752,275, it remains a noteworthy sum for a tournament of such caliber. Both champions will also receive the maximum points available.
The structure of prize distribution also sees the men’s runner-up guaranteed $597,890 and 650 points, whereas the corresponding figures for the women’s runner-up are $391,600 and the same 650 points. Ranking points also begin to diverge from the semifinals, with the ATP semifinalists earning 400 points and the WTA semifinalists receiving slightly less at 390 points. The prize money for losing semifinalists will be notably distinct as well, with ATP players earning $332,160 compared to $206,100 for their female counterparts.
Competition continues as players aim for the quarterfinals, where ATP participants will earn 200 points and $189,075, while their WTA equivalents will receive a higher points total of 215 but lower prize money of $107,000. Prize distributions for earlier rounds further reflect this disparity, with significant earnings for players in both tours as they navigate through the early stages of the tournament.
