The Czech has played in Canada 15 times, reaching the semi-final on 11 occasions and losing the last final there in 1992 against Andre Agassi after taking the opening set. Two-time champion John McEnroe had played in Canada for 16 straight years and he won 44 matches in total for the second place on the list, suffering some unexpected losses in the early rounds and ruin a chance to grab more triumphs at this event. Andre Agassi had competed in Canada between 1989-2005, reaching the semi-final in his first appearance (lost to Lendl) and the final in the last one when he won a set against Rafael Nadal at the age of 35.

A three-time champion claimed 38 wins in total in Toronto and Montreal, dominating with three titles between 1992-1995 when he defeated Ivan Lendl, Jason Stoltenberg and Pete Sampras in the title matches. The American was halted in the semis in 1998 and 1999 and he almost won the title in that final appearance 13 years ago when Nadal toppled him 6-3 4-6 6-2. Novak Djokovic is the most successful player here after Lendl in terms of titles, winning four and notching 37 wins to move into the fourth place on our list, leaving Roger Federer on 35.

The Serb has won 37 out of 44 matches in Canada, including titles in 2007, 2011, 2012 and 2016. Djokovic won the title in Montreal on his debut, prevailing over Roger Federer in the final set tie break and he repeated that four years later when he beat Mardy Fish in the title match. He was the player to beat a year later as well and his last tile so far came in 2016, in what has been his last Masters 1000 crown so far. Djokovic was forced to skip Montreal last year due to injury and he was beaten in the third round this week to Stefanos Tsitsipas, failing to reach Agassi's numbers in Canada but having a chance to do so next year.

Choosing Cincinnati before Canada, Roger Federer has played Canada Masters only twice in the past seven years and he is on 35 wins in Montreal and Toronto, four ahead of Rafael Nadal who has reached the semi-final in 2018. Interestingly, Federer had won two titles by 2006 but none after that, standing as the runner-up no less than four times, including the last year's edition when Alexander Zverev ousted him in straight sets.
