The 2025 Canadian Open, branded as the Omnium Banque Nationale, is reaching its closing stages, with both the ATP and WTA tournaments featuring remarkable upsets and standout performances. This year, the women’s event is in Montreal and the men’s in Toronto, with both draws holding semifinals this week.[1][3]

In Montreal, 18-year-old Canadian Victoria Mboko has electrified home crowds with a stunning run to the semifinals. Entering on a wild card, Mboko delivered her highest-profile win yet by defeating top-seeded Coco Gauff in straight sets, ensuring her place among the final four and earning considerable praise from the tennis community. The crowd support has been immense, with a charged atmosphere marking her matches.[2][4]

The remainder of the women’s semifinals in Montreal includes Clara Tauson, who continued her march by defeating Madison Keys to book a clash with former Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka. The last four in Montreal are: Victoria Mboko, Elena Rybakina, Clara Tauson, and Naomi Osaka. Many of the highest seeds—including Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, and Jessica Pegula—have exited early, underlining the unpredictability of this year’s event.[1][4]

Meanwhile, in Toronto’s men’s tournament, the semifinals are nearly set following high-profile wins. Top seed Alexander Zverev advanced to the semifinals by defeating Alexei Popyrin, and Americans Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton are both in contention for their first Masters 1000 final. Karen Khachanov also reached the last four, ending the defending champion’s run. The tournament has seen intense competition with several tight matches and upsets.[3][4][7][8]

The 2025 Canadian Open continues through August 7. Fans are encouraged to check updated draws and match schedules, as well as enjoy the vibrant atmosphere in Montreal and Toronto, where the event’s cultural and entertainment offerings add to the excitement of the tennis.[3]
