Rogers Cup Mens Tennis Information

Rogers Cup, formerly known as the Canada Masters, is a prestigious annual tennis championship, which takes place in Canada. The name of the contest depends on the sponsor providing money, for example from 1997 to 2000 it was “du Maurier Open” for both men and women, from 2001 to 2004 “Tennis Masters Canada” for male, and ”Rogers AT&T Cup” for female participants.

The men's tournament is an ATP Masters Series competition on the Association of Tennis Professionals tour. The contest for women is a Tier 1 event on the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) tour. These events are held in two different weeks from July to August in two different cities. The present-day champions include Novak Dokovic in the men's tournament and Justine Henin in the women's competition.

The game is played on hard courts. In odd-numbered years the home of the Rogers Cup is Montreal, in even-numbered years - Toronto.

The year 2009 brings us some significant innovations. First of all, Rogers Cup will be a "1000-level" series event instead of the Masters Series title. New additions of rules and sanctions are also here to come. In 2011, boys and girls will play the same week six of the nine 1000-level tournaments are planed to be combined.
