Canadian Tennis Players Impress at Masters Tournament on Canada Day

Four Canadians pose with their trophies at the ITF Masters event in Ottawa.


MT1000 Mont-Tremblant

While most of the Canadian ITF Masters events this year have been dominated by the host nation, the MT1000 Mont-Tremblant ITF Cup saw a heavy international presence and many foreign players taking home the hardware. However, the Canadian contingent still came out on top, winning 25 of the 42 competitions in Quebec.

Notably, four Canadians managed to score multiple wins. Kanta Murali (40+ women), Johane Mui (55+ women), and Simon Filiatrault (45+ men) all won the singles and doubles in their respective age groups.

MT100 Ottawa

Over the Canada Day weekend, the nation’s capital played host to an MT100 event and the hosts celebrated the holiday in style, winning every single draw at the Ottawa ITF Masters.

Two women, Mariya Toncheva in the 30+ category and Susan Simmons in the 60+, and one man, Rolf Krantz in 50+, were able to win both the singles and doubles in their respective age groups.

Girdler Solves Clay

Last month, Gerald Girdler won his third ITF Masters title. In June, he finally picked up a trophy on a different surface, winning an MT 400 event on clay. Ironically, that victory on the dirt came in a place synonymous with grass. His victory was at the Wimbledon Clay Court Championships.

Girdler won the 65+ men’s singles title, dropping just one set in four matches. He advanced past top seed Arun Vethakkan who retired in the first set of their semifinal clash before easily defeating Jonathan Browning for the title.
