On the WTA Tour, Iga Swiatek of Poland headlines the player field in Toronto as the No. 1 seed, holding the top spot in the WTA rankings since the beginning of the calendar year. On the men’s side, World No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy will enter Montreal as the highest seeded player. He climbed to the top of the ATP rankings earlier this year after reaching the final of Roland-Garros. The seedings ahead of the 2024 National Bank Open follow the ATP and WTA’s official rankings as of today, July 29, 2024.
