Facts & Figures: 2019 Coupe Rogers

The Coupe Rogers is the first of back-to-back summer North American hard-court ATP Masters 1000 tennis tournaments in the lead to the US Open. The Western & Southern Open will be held the following week in Cincinnati.

Four-time champion Rafael Nadal, the top seed at the 2019 edition, claimed his first Canadian title in 2005 with victory over a 35-year-old Andre Andre Agassi in the Montreal final. Last year in Toronto, at the age of 32, the Spaniard became the oldest tournament champion in the Open Era when he defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas on the Greek's 20th birthday. 

Nadal is only one of four players to win Canada and Cincinnati in the same season, along with Andy Roddick, Patrick Rafter and Agassi.
