Roger Federer could make his first appearance at the Coupe Rogers since 2014

Join us for an exciting week of action from Montreal, where big-name players including Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are set to kick-start their US Open preparations. 

We will bring you the very best action from the Uniprix Stadium,
Jarry Park, live across our platforms, with the first-round matches beginning on Monday.

Fresh from winning Wimbledon, Federer, a two-time winner of the Rogers Cup, is named on the entry list for the tournament which plays a key role in the lead-up to the US Open, the final major of the year. The 19-time Grand Slam champion, should he take part, will face considerable competition from the likes of Rafael Nadal, home favourite Milos Raonic and Wimbledon runner-up Marin Cilic.

Rafael Nadal is due to play in his first tournament since his surprise early defeat at Wimbledon

The tournament's line-up currently includes the world's top four players - Andy Murray, Nadal, Federer and Stan Wawrinka - but there is no guarantee they will feature the top three including Murray, a three-time champion of the tournament, who is undergoing an extensive rehabilitation program following his hip injury issues which impacted his performances at Wimbledon.

Federer is out of this world

No superlative can describe the magical winning machine that is Roger Federer. He continues to defy age and logic after his latest Grand Slam win.

Novak Djokovic, who has dropped to No 5 in the ATP rankings, is out for the rest of the year with an elbow injury and therefore will be unable to defend his title. Last year the event was held in Toronto as the two cities alternate the task of hosting.

Raonic, who is the only direct entry into the main draw, has dropped to No 10 and will be the ninth seed. That means he won't receive a bye in the first round and could face a notable name in the third round.

Qualifying rounds will begin on Saturday and will determine the beneficiaries of the final 12 available places within the main draw of the hard-court tournament.
