TORONTO — French Open champion Justine Henin and Wimbledon winner Venus Williams are among those who have entered the Rogers Cup tennis tournament.

The official entry list for the Aug. 11-19 event was released by Tennis Canada on Tuesday.

Defending champion Ana Ivanovic has also entered, as have Maria Sharapova, Jelena Jankovic, Amelie Mauresmo and Martina Hingis.

In all, eight of the top 10 players on the WTA Tour have committed to the tournament.

"I'm thrilled to have such an exceptional player field in Toronto for my first Rogers Cup," tournament director Karl Hale said in a statement.

The list is subject to change. Williams and Sharapova each pulled out of last year's tournament in Montreal just prior to the event.
