The top four men in the ATP World Tour rankings have won each of the last seven Rogers Cup titles, and all four of those players will be in the field this week in Montreal looking to beat the tennis betting odds at the Bodog Sportsbook and take the trophy.
Novak Djokovic, who now holds the No. 1 world ranking, won this tournament in 2007, while world No. 2 Rafael Nadal was the champion in both 2005 and 2008. Third-ranked Roger Federer was the winner in 2004 and 2006, and fourth-ranked Andy Murray is the two-time defending champion at this event.
Those four will get a bye into the second round of the tournament, along with fifth-seeded Gael Monfils, sixth-seeded Mardy Fish, seventh-seeded Tomas Berdych, and eighth-seeded Nicolas Almagro.
Andy Roddick, the 2003 champion, has withdrawn from the tournament, as has fifth-ranked Robin Soderling; Roddick has an oblique injury, and Soderling has a sore wrist.
Over in the women's draw in Toronto the top seed is Caroline Wozniacki, who is also the defending champion. No. 2 Kim Clijsters, No. 3 Vera Zvonareva, No. 4 Victoria Azarenka, No. 5 Maria Sharapova, No. 6 Li Na, No. 7 Petra Kvitova, and No. 8 Francesca Schiavone round out the players who have a bye into the second round.
Clijsters won this tournament in 2005. Ana Ivanovic, the 2006 champion, has a tough match against Venus Williams in the first round, and a potential matchup with top-seeded Wozniacki looming in the third round. Williams is the -165 favorite for Monday's match, with Ivanovic the +125 underdog on the tennis odds.
Serena Williams, who won this event in 2001, faces Alona Bondarenko in the first round (as a big -2500 favorite) and would potentially take on Clijsters in the third round.
