CANADA MASTERS

The 'Canada Masters', currently sponsored as the 'Rogers Cup', is an annual tennis tournament held in Canada. The men's competition is an ATP Masters Series event on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) tour. The women's competition is a Tier 1 event on the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) tour. The two competitions are currently held in separate weeks in the July-August period. The events alternate from year-to-year between the cities of Montréal and Toronto. In odd-numbered years, the men's tournament is held in Montréal, while the women's tournament is held in Toronto, and ''vice-versa'' in even-numbered years. The competition is played on hard courts.

Future

Starting in 2009, the Rogers Cup will become a "1000-level" series event, replacing the Masters Series title. As a "1000-level" event, the Rogers Cup will attract a mandatory player field and is backed by new rules and sanctions. The women's tournament will also go under major changes, that will improve player turnout, by adding player fines and suspensions just to name a few. Player turnout has been an ongoing problem for both the Rogers Cup and the WTA. In 2011, the Rogers Cup will go under another major transformation, that will make both the men's and women's tournaments run in the same week.
