“We are very pleased to partner with Rogers Cup to sponsor Canadian Armed Forces Day at this year’s event in Toronto,” commented Benjamin Alexander, senior vice-president and Chief Operating Officer at Commissionaires Great Lakes. “We’ve partnered with Tennis Canada in the past and the event has been well received within the veteran community.” 
 
A Commissionaires representative, alongside a former veteran, will conduct the coin toss on Centre Court ahead of the session’s semi-finals match. This follows the announcement the WTA Tour’s top 39 players have confirmed their entry to this year’s Rogers Cup, including the likes of 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams, current World No. 1 and French Open title-winner Ashleigh Barty and Toronto’s own Bianca Andreescu.
 
“We are delighted to be able to recognize the great work done by Commissionaires and our country’s armed forces at Rogers Cup presented by National Bank this year,” said Rogers Cup tournament director Karl Hale. “We are very much looking forward to hosting many of their employees as well as a group of esteemed veterans at our day session on semi-finals Saturday.
