The ITF Masters Tour has been on a roll in Canada for the last few months but things are starting to wind down a little bit. There were only two events on the calendar in June and only two more over the next month.
But that is not to understate the importance of the two June ITF events in Canada. One was the highest-level tournament hosted in the country, while the other was in the nation’s capital just ahead of Canada Day.
Here is the monthly Masters Tennis update by ABRYSVO.
MT1000 Mont-Tremblant
As an MT1000, the highest level of tournament on the ITF Masters Tour, the 2025 Mont-Tremblant ITF Cup drew a more international field than many of the Canadian ITF Masters events. 17 of the 40 draws were won outright by non-Canadian players, with two titles shared.
A handful of players managed to win the singles and doubles in their respective age groups in Mont-Tremblant. Canadian Juliette Lorthios-Guilledroit managed it in the women’s 30+, as did Mariana Pulvirenti in the women’s 50+, while John Payne and Shaheer Mikhael doubled-up in the men’s 75+ and 80+ respectively.
Japan’s Naoki Arimoto won both the singles and doubles titles in the men’s 50+ division, while Norbert Henn of Germany did it in the men’s 65+. Monica Panagi of Brazil and Vicki V Buholz of the United States were singles and doubles champions in the women’s 55+ and 60+ respectively.
Canada’s Denis Dumar was the only competitor to win multiple doubles titles. He won the 60+ men’s doubles with countryman David DeFehr and the 60+ mixed doubles with Peru’s Maria Rossina Rios Suarez.
