The hosting of the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024 will force some organizers of summer events to change their plans a little, and as for the National Bank Tennis Open, the new developments will be clearly visible in the gaming calendar.
In fact, the first games of the main draw begin on Tuesday, August 6th in both Montreal and Toronto, so the finals will take place on the evening of Monday, August 12th. Normally the competition begins on Monday of the presentation week and ends on the following Sunday afternoon. In addition, the IGA Stadium Open House and Practice Day is scheduled for Saturday, August 3rd. Qualifying will then follow over the next two days.
