Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime the highest-seeded Canadian at No. 10 for National Bank Open
A field stacked with most of the ATP Tour’s top young stars – anchored by top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz – has National Bank Open tournament director Karl Hale feeling bullish about the 2023 edition of the event.
That gives Alcaraz – who recently outlasted Djokovic to win his first Wimbledon title – as the main headliner in a 56-man draw that includes fellow youngsters Félix Auger-Aliassime of Montreal, Italy’s Jannik Sinner, Denmark’s Holger Rune and Norway’s Casper Ruud. Auger-Aliassime, the world No. 12, is the highest-seeded Canadian at No. 10. He’ll play a qualifier in his opening match at Sobeys Stadium.
“Milos was No. 3 in the world, the final of Wimbledon, essentially top 10 for 10 years,” Hale said. “He’s the one that paved the way for all of our Canadian players to do so well.”
