STARNBERG, August 5, 2024

The stage is set for the 2024 National Bank Open presented by Rogers (NBO) following Saturday’ official draw ceremony at Cathcart, Place Ville Marie in downtown Montreal with World No. 1 and defending NBO champion Jannik Sinner of Italy, as well as Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov, World No. 10 and former semifinalist at the Canadian tournament, in attendance. With the tournament main draw set to get underway on Tuesday, at least five Canadians will be in action, led by World No. 19 Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Auger-Aliassime, fresh off making Canadian history with a first-ever bronze medal in mixed doubles at the 2024 Paris Olympics alongside Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski, will open his NBO campaign against World No. 48 Flavio Cobolli of Italy. The Montrealer, who also finished fourth in the men’s singles event at this week’s tennis event at Roland Garros, could find himself in a second-round battle against 32nd-ranked Frenchman Adrian Mannarino.

Other notable first-round matchups include US-American Ben Shelton (No. 14) vs. Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik (No. 25), Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo (No. 20) vs. US-American Frances Tiafoe (No. 29), and a matchup between French players Ugo Humbert (No. 15) and Arthur Fils (No. 23).
