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.

Kiki Bertens into final of the ladies championship Gstaad

GSTAAD, Switzerland 
Kiki Bertens upset top seed timea Bacsinszky on Saturday to end hopes of an all-Swiss final at the Ladies Championship Gstaad.

Two Swiss players have never met in the final of a WTA event, and Bertens ensured this statistic remained intact with a 7-5, 7-6(1) win.

Due to the torrential rain earlier in the week, the weekend began with the completion of the backlogged quarterfinals, Bertens living up to her No.3 seed status by making short work of irina  khromacheva. However, against Bacsinszky she was made to work considerably harder, coming from a break down in both sets to edge into the third final of her career.

"I think the tournament would have loved two Swiss players in the final - so sorry for that! - but I'm really happy," Bertens said afterwards. "I think we both played a lot of matches in the last few hours, so physically it's really tough."
