Organized by Tennis Canada since 1892 and offering over $3 million in prize money, the best tennis players in the world come to Toronto to compete for the prestigious Rogers Cup trophy, which is the third-oldest title in tennis.

CELEBRATING 125 YEARS OF WOMEN’S TENNIS: THE 2017 ROGERS CUP IN TORONTO

Hard courts, hard lines and a place where “love” is a bad word. For nine days this August, tennis frenzy takes over Toronto.

Formerly known as the Canadian Masters, the Rogers Cup is a two-part split tournament. In odd-numbered years, the men’s Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Masters 1000 section is held in Montreal, while the Women’s Tennis Association (WTP) Premier 5 section is held in Toronto, and vice versa for even-numbered years. 2017 sees the WTP tournament at the Aviva Centre at York University in Toronto celebrate 125 years of women’s tennis.

EAT WELL
For any foodies in your group, a cornucopia of delicious options awaits. From trendy poke bowls and brisket parfait to stadium classics, like foot-long hot dogs, there’s no need to go hungry at this tournament. Three celebrity chefs are also going to be on-hand for even the most discerning diners. And, as a tennis tournament first, you can order right to your seat in the centre bowl so you don’t miss any of the action.

SPECIAL EVENTS
The Rogers Cup is also a place to learn and connect. The tournament plays host to Aviva Women in Business Night, to celebrate the accomplishments of women in sport and business.

For the tech-inclined, a new tournament is launching the inaugural Tech and Tennis Day, a truly unique fusion of sport and technology. Spend the morning learning about the world of technology from some of Canada’s top industry talent.
