The 2025 National Bank Open women’s tournament will be held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This year, the draw has a 96-player singles field. This will be made up of 32 seeds, qualifiers, special ranking entrants, and seven wild cards. World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka withdrew from the tournament due to fatigue, and that means Coco Gauff will be the top seed.<\/p>\n
Last week, an initial three-woman wild card list<\/a> was released with Eugenie Bouchard and Bianca Andreescu leading the line. The tournament organizers have now named the other four recipients. So, who are they?<\/p>\n As expected, Canadians have scooped all the wild card spots in singles. The second batch is headed by 24-year-old Carson Branstine<\/strong>. The World No. 191 is fresh from a successful Wimbledon qualifying tournament<\/a> where she beat French Open history-maker Lois Boisson<\/a> and compatriot Bianca Andreescu. This will be her maiden main draw appearance at the National Bank Open.<\/p>\n A second wild card main draw debutant is Kayla Cross<\/strong>. The 20-year-old remains winless at the Tour level in her career and hasn’t won a hard court match since March. Cross lost in qualifying when she last competed in Toronto.<\/p>\n 2023 Billie Jean King Cup champion Marina Stakusic<\/strong> is the third wild card entrant. Stakusic’s previous main draw appearance in this tournament came last year when she won her opening match in Toronto against Erika Andreeva.<\/p>\nNational Bank Open: Four More Players Receive Montreal Wild Cards<\/h2>\n
