  TOURNAMENT INFO:LOCATION: MONTREAL, CANADA WHEN: AUG 04 - AUG 10 TIER: Premier PRIZE MONEY: $2,440,070 SURFACE: Hard DIRECTOR: Eugene Lapierre Since 1892, the best women's tennis players in the world have showcased their skills at what is now known as the Rogers Cup; only Wimbledon and the US Open have longer histories. Part of the Emirates Airline US Open Series, the tournament rotates each year between Toronto and Montréal, with the ATP staging its version of the event the same week in the alternate city. Three times it has been named the WTA's Premier Tournament Of The Year - in 1998, 1999 and 2000. The event has been won by a plethora of all-time greats, with Chris Evert and Monica Seles leading the way with four titles each, followed by Martina Navratilova and Serena Williams with three apiece. Seles has an especially memorable history, the first of her four straight triumphs coming in 1995 in Toronto - her first tournament back after a two-year, three-month absence from the WTA. Navratilova has the most doubles titles, with her sixth in 2006 being the last title of her career. www.rogerscup.com/women/english/home.php |

 On Sunday at the Rogers Cup presented by National Bank in Montréal, third-seed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland triumphed in two sets (6-4, 6-2) over Venus Williams of the US in 1:22. Radwanska, who, until today, had reached two Rogers Cup semifinals, ended Venus’ exceptional run. At 34 years old, the American was out to become the oldest player ever to win the title. Martina Navratilova still holds the record: she was crowned Rogers Cup champion at the age of 32.
