Emirates Airline US Open Series Preview: Rogers Cup

Dates:

July 22-31

Prize Money:

$4,089,740

Defending Champion:

Andy Murray

With a few top stars missing in action (Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Andy Murray), the Rogers Cup will be a great chance for Novak Djokovic to return to his winning ways after a disappointing Wimbledon. Ontario's own Milos Raonic will also be a huge favorite after his successful month in London.

Fellow Top 10 stars Stan Wawrinka, Kei Nishikori, Marin Cilic, Dominic Thiem and Tomas Berdych are all entered in the draw.

Defending Champion:

Belinda Bencic

Last year, teenager Belinda Bencic handed Serena Williams one of her few losses of 2015 in the semifinals. This year, with both Bencic and Williams not playing, the week will be a huge opportunity for finalist Simona Halep as well as Garbine Mugurza, Angelique Kerber, Agnieszka Radwanska, recent Stanford winner Johanna Konta and Venus Williams.

Canada's greatest WTA star Eugenie Bouchard will look to find the magic that propelled her to world No. 5 in 2014 after mixed results this season.
