WTA Canadian Open: What ranking points & prize money are available?
The North American hard-court summer is underway, and the first WTA 1000 event of the swing is just days away.
The cream of the WTA Tour crop head to the IGA Stadium in Montreal this coming fortnight for the Canadian Open, the first of two WTA 1000 events this summer.
Here, we look at the biggest names in action, the ranking points and prize money up for grabs, and when the draw will be revealed.
Who is in action?
The men’s and women’s singles events have both been hit by big withdrawals, with world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka among those not heading to Montreal.
However, compared to the men’s event, fewer star names have pulled out, meaning the field is still pretty stacked.
Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek, in their first hard-court tournaments of the summer, are set to be in action, with Jessica Pegula looking to complete a Canadian Open ‘threepeat’ after her 2023 and 2024 triumphs.
The likes of Amanda Anisimova and Madison Keys will also be in action, while Emma Raducanu returns to the Canadian Open for the first time since making her event debut in 2022.
Filipina history-maker Alex Eala will make her tournament debut this fortnight, while Leylah Fernandez, Bianca Andreescu, and the retiring Eugenie Bouchard spearhead home interest.

Ranking points
As a WTA 1000 event, a total of 1,000 WTA Rankings points will be awarded to whoever triumphs inside the IGA stadium over the next fortnight.
That means current world No 4 Pegula faces the most rankings pressure at the tournament, heading in as the two-time defending champion – with 1,000 points to defend.
The runner-up will earn 650 points, with recent Wimbledon finalist Amanda Anisimova looking to defend her points after losing to Pegula in the Canadian Open final twelve months ago.
Beaten semi-finalists will be awarded 390 ranking points, while quarter-finalists will earn 215 ranking points.
Players beaten in the fourth round will be awarded 120 points, with 65 points awarded to players who reach the third round.
There are 35 points available in the second round, and 10 points available in round one.
Draw date
All eyes will be on the draw at the event, with world No 2 Gauff the top seed and world No 3 Swiatek the second seed.
The women’s singles draw will be held at 11 am Montreal time on Saturday, July 26th, with main draw action then starting at 11 am on Sunday, July 27th.
Both the singles and doubles finals will take place on Thursday, August 7th.
It is a 96-player draw, with 16 qualifiers and eight wildcards also entering the main-draw field.
Prize money
The Canadian Open women’s singles prize money has increased significantly in 2025, with the eventual champion set to be awarded $752,275.
Two-time defending champion Pegula was awarded $523,485 for her 2024 triumph, meaning the champion’s prize money has increased by almost 44% in 2025.
The beaten finalist will be awarded $391,600 for their efforts, while the two beaten semi-finalists are set to take home $206,100.
Quarter-finalists will earn $107,000, with those reaching the round of 16 set to earn $56,703.
