A mandatory Masters 1000 event on the ATP Tour, the National Bank Open, or the Canadian Open, is the most prominent event ahead of the fourth and final Grand Slam of the season: the U.S. Open. An outdoor hard court tournament, the National Bank Open is among the oldest tennis events in the world, having first been held 133 years ago. 

The winner of the tournament receives 1000 ranking points and more than $1 million. It’ll be quite the challenge, however, as the majority of the world’s top players are in Toronto for the tournament – the women are playing in the non-mandatory WTA 1000 tournament in Montreal.

That said, let’s take a closer look at the upcoming National Bank Open tournament so you can bet against the ATP betting lines.

National Bank Open Past Champions

Not surprisingly, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have each enjoyed tremendous success at the Canadian Open in the 21st century. Nadal won his first of five titles in 2005 and won in back-to-back years in 2018 and 2019. Djokovic, meanwhile, won four titles from 2007 to 2016. Neither player will be competing in this year’s tournament.

Andy Murray, who is competing in Toronto, is a three-time champion, having won in 2009, 2010, and 2015. Pablo Carreno Busta is the reigning champion, defeating Hubert Hurkacz in the finals of last year’s tournament. Daniil Medvedev, also competing this year, won in 2021. 

A Look at the Draw

With 56 players in the draw, there are plenty of intriguing first-round matches, even with the top eight seeds receiving a bye into the second round. Alcaraz, who has the shortest odds to win the tournament, awaits the winner of Ben Shelton and fellow Spaniard Barnabe Zapata Miralles in the second round. Rune, Tsitsipas, and Sinner are the other three players to receive a bye in the top half of the bracket.

In the bottom half of the bracket, Rublev, Fritz, Ruud, and Medvedev all receive a bye into the second round. 

First-Round Betting Picks

Alexander Bublik (+175) vs. Hubert Hurkacz (-225)

We’re looking for value in first-round betting picks, and this is a match with upset potential. Hurkacz was a finalist in last year’s tournament but is coming off of a first-round loss at the Citi Open and hasn’t necessarily been having a great season.

Bublik is also coming off of a first-round loss at the Citi Open and is just 1-5 in his career against Hurkacz but does have a win on an outdoor hard court over Hurkacz. Bublik is 8-2 in his last ten matches, while Hurkacz is 4-6.

Gael Monfils (-125) vs. Christopher Eubanks (+100)

Christopher Eubanks took the tennis world by storm at Wimbledon, reaching the quarter-finals, but he is 1-2 in his last three matches, whereas Monfils, a former world No. 6, who has played sparingly this season, is 2-1 in his last three matches. He reached the Round of 16 at the Citi Open.

These two have never played, which should give an advantage to the more experienced Monfils.

2023 National Bank Open Outright Prediction

Despite the loaded field in Canada, it’s tough to bet against Alcaraz, who is 47-4 this season with six titles. He’s well rested, having not played since beating Djokovic in the Wimbledon final, and is the most dominant player in the sport right now.
