The list includes three Grand Slam champions with 2018 NBO runner-up Sloane Stephens (2017 US Open), Sofia Kenin (2020 Australian Open), both of the United States, and Great Britain’s Emma Raducanu (2021 US Open) all confirmed to take part. 2021 NBO runner-up Karolina Pliskova of Czechia, a former World No. 1 and two-time Grand Slam finalist (2016 US Open, 2021 Wimbledon), is also set to feature as the top-ranked player on the qualifying list.

“It’s a testament to the strength-in-depth of the WTA Tour and the women’s game that we’re able to confirm such a strong qualifying list for this year’s National Bank Open presented by Rogers,” said Karl Hale, Tournament Director, NBO Toronto. “We look forward to welcoming all of the players to Toronto next month and we know it will be a fierce competition to see who will claim the all-important places in the main draw. Fans will need no more encouragement than the names on that list to join us during 407 ETR Family Weekend, which is free for all attendees.”
