Rafael Nadal is the top seed for the
coming men’s Rogers Cup tennis
tournament in Montreal, while Ash-
leigh Barty is the top seed for the
women’s event in Toronto.
Tennis Canada announced the
names of the top seeds Monday
based on the latest ATP and WTA
tour rankings.
Nadal, ranked No. 2 in the world
by ATP, gets the top seed in Montreal
after world No. 1 Novak Djokovic
announced his withdrawal from the
tournament last week. Nadal is a
four-time Rogers Cup champion and
won the tournament in Toronto last
year.
No. 4 Dominic Thiem of Austria
will be the tournament’s second
seed, as Roger Federer withdrew from

the event shortly after losing to

Djokovic in the Wimbledon final

earlier this month.

Barty will be competing in her

second tournament as the world No.

1. The Australian moved up to the
   top spot in the rankings after a
   breakthrough first half of the year,
   which saw her capture her first
   Grand Slam title at the French Open
   as well as a championship at the
   Miami Open.
   The main draw in each event
   starts on Aug. 5.
   Meanwhile, at the Citi Open in
   Washington on Monday, Canada’s
   Brayden Schnur was bounced, falling
   in the first round against Jo-Wilfried
   Tsonga of France in straight sets, 6-4,
   7-6 (2).THECANADIANPRESS

It appears Ottawa will wait until 2021

to field its new rugby-league team.

Eric Perez, founder and the first

chief executive officer of the Toronto

Wolfpack, has already received the

green light from thegoverningbody of

English rugby league to move the

Hemel Stags.

Perez heads a Canadian consortium

that acquired the Stags franchise in

the hope of moving it to Ottawa.

Hemel withdrew from the third-tier

League 1 for the 2019 season with an

eye initially to returning in 2020.

“It’s not 100-per-cent certain, but

it’s pretty much we’re going to start in

2021,” Perez said Monday.

The Ottawa team, which will start in

League 1 as the Wolfpack did in its

inaugural season in 2017, is slated to

play at TD Place Stadium.

The Wolfpack won promotion to

the second-tier championship in 2017,

narrowly missing out on graduating to

the elite Super League last year. Tor-

onto currently tops the Championship

table at 21-1-0.

Perez’s ownership group is working

with the Ottawa Sports and Entertain-

ment Group (OSEG), which owns the

CFL’s Redblacks, OHL’s 67’s and USL

Championship’s Ottawa Fury FC

(USL). OSEG also manages the TD

Place Stadium and Arena.

The Stags made their debut in 1981

in Hemel Hempstead, located 35 kilo-

metres northwest of London.
