Canadian Open 2024 Schedule Today: TV schedule, start time, order of play, live stream details & more | Day 1

The main draw action at the Canadian Open 2024 will begin from Tuesday, August 6. The men are competing in Montreal this year, while the women are in Toronto. Holger Rune and Milos Raonic will clash in an exciting first-round match on the first day.

The two were set to lock horns at the Indian Wells Masters earlier this year as well but the match didn't materialize as the Canadian withdrew from the tournament. Kei Nishikori, Frances Tiafoe, and Karen Khachanov are some of the other big names in the mix.

The women's side will feature a few Grand Slam champions taking to the court. Sloane Stephens and Bianca Andreescu are set to headline the night session in Toronto, while Victoria Azarenka and Sofia Kenin are scheduled for a daytime slot. Former World No. 1 Karolina Pliskova is also in the fray.
