The Canadian Open stands as one of tennis’s oldest and most esteemed tournaments, hosting a storied history of champions. Among male players in the Open Era, seven individuals have distinguished themselves with the greatest number of match wins at this event.

At the pinnacle is Ivan Lendl, who not only boasts the highest number of victories—57 wins—but also holds the tournament’s highest win percentage. Lendl claimed the Canadian Open title six times, with back-to-back wins in 1980 and 1981, then again in 1983, followed by a remarkable three consecutive titles from 1987 to 1989. He also reached finals in 1982, 1985, and 1992 across 15 tournament appearances.

Second on the list is John McEnroe, who competed at the Canadian Open for 16 straight years from 1977 to 1992. McEnroe won the title twice in 1984 and 1985 and made finals in 1979 and 1989, along with two additional semi-final appearances, accumulating 44 match victories in total.

Rafael Nadal, renowned for his success on multiple surfaces, ranks just ahead with 38 match wins. He secured five men’s singles titles in Canada—in 2005, 2008, 2013, and back-to-back in 2018 and 2019. Nadal also made two semi-final appearances and has a 38-8 record at the event.

Equaling Nadal’s victory count is Andre Agassi, a three-time champion in 1992, 1994, and 1995, who also reached three additional semi-finals. Agassi ended the tournament with a 38-11 record and was runner-up to Nadal in the 2005 final.

Novak Djokovic follows closely with 37 match wins. He conquered the Canadian Open title four times—2007, 2011, 2012, and 2016—and was runner-up in 2015. Notably, Djokovic has reached at least the quarter-finals in nine out of 11 appearances.

Roger Federer, with a 35-10 record, won the title twice during his peak years in 2004 and 2006 and made four additional finals in 2007, 2010, 2014, and 2017.

Andy Murray rounds out this group with 28 wins, including three titles in 2009, 2010, and 2015, and semi-final appearances in 2006 and 2008. The Canadian Open ranks among the most successful stops in his career.

These seven players represent the elite performers historically at the Canadian Open, each leaving a lasting imprint through multiple victories and consistent high-level play.

Jannik Sinner’s surprising decision to part ways with fitness trainer Marco Panichi and physiotherapist Ulises Badio just before Wimbledon 2025 has been clarified. The Italian star ended his collaboration with both team members days before the tournament started, yet he dismissed concerns this would impact his performance, going on to win his first Wimbledon title and his fourth Grand Slam overall.

According to Corriere della Sera, the split followed Panichi sharing private details in media interviews, notably describing Sinner’s emotional reaction after his loss to Carlos Alcaraz in the 2025 French Open final. Panichi revealed that Sinner cried for 15 minutes in the locker room and was frustrated by the crowd’s strong support for Alcaraz. This disclosure reportedly upset Sinner. Badio, who had joined alongside Panichi in September 2024 and previously worked with Panichi in Novak Djokovic’s team, was reportedly let go as “collateral damage.”

In a pre-Wimbledon press conference, Sinner downplayed any conflict surrounding the split. “No, nothing major happened,” he said. “Nothing big happened. I parted ways not long ago, but it’s not affecting me. I feel ready to compete. I feel free. I feel me and my team, we are ready to do the best we can.”

He praised past achievements with the duo but indicated a change was needed: “We made some great job, but I decided to do something different.” When asked for more detail, he refused to single out any issue: “There’s not one specific thing. Nothing crazy happened. For me the final in Roland Garros was an amazing achievement. That’s it. In this sport, things can happen. Sometimes a player feels something different, and that’s my case.”

Former world No. 1 Andy Roddick described the timing of Sinner’s decision as puzzling, speculating it might stem from off-court matters, yet acknowledging the full story might remain unknown.

Panichi has since joined Holger Rune’s team and will work with him at the upcoming Cincinnati Masters.

The 2025 clay-court season on the ATP Tour has concluded, with a broad array of tournaments held from South America to Europe, culminating post-Wimbledon. This year’s clay events offered numerous opportunities to accumulate valuable ranking points.

Carlos Alcaraz emerged well ahead of the pack, amassing a remarkable 4,330 points on clay. His haul included 2,000 points from defending his French Open title, plus 1,000 points each for victories in Monte Carlo and Rome. Additionally, his runner-up finish in Barcelona contributed 330 points. Notably, Alcaraz skipped the Madrid Open but still outpaced all contenders on clay by a wide margin.

Lorenzo Musetti showcased consistent performance without claiming a title, securing 2,300 points. His results included a semi-final appearance at Roland Garros (800 points), a first Masters 1000 final in Monte Carlo (650 points), and semi-finals at both Madrid and Rome (400 points each), with an additional 50 points from Buenos Aires.

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner played just two clay events but still earned 1,950 points. He reached the Italian Open final for 650 points and made his first French Open final appearance, garnering 1,300 points. His season was impacted by a doping ban that caused him to miss Monte Carlo, Madrid, and withdraw from Hamburg.

Casper Ruud collected 1,500 points on clay, highlighted by his first Masters 1000 title in Madrid worth 1,000 points. He also earned 200 points in Rome, 100 in Monte Carlo, and 100 at the Barcelona Open but exited the French Open early with only 50 points.

Alexander Zverev earned a total of 1,410 clay points. His highlights included winning Munich (500 points), reaching the quarterfinals at Roland Garros (400 points), and collecting points in Rome, Madrid, and other tournaments, though some points did not contribute to his ranking.

Alexander Bublik was a notable surprise, amassing 1,230 points with multiple tournament runs: the Turin Challenger title (175 points), various points from Munich, Madrid, and the Italian Open, a quarterfinal appearance at Roland Garros (400 points), and back-to-back titles in Gstaad and Kitzbuhel (500 points).

Juan Manuel Cerundolo had mixed results, with a disappointing French Open first-round exit (10 points) but strong performances elsewhere, including a Madrid Open semifinal (400 points) and significant points from Rome, Monte Carlo, Munich, Buenos Aires, and other events, totaling 1,275 points on clay.

This comprehensive summary reflects the diverse paths top players took to capture ranking points throughout this year’s clay season.
