Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic have withdrawn from the Canadian Open, scheduled for August 2-13 in Montreal. Sinner, fresh off winning Wimbledon, stated the decision was made to prioritize his health. The tournament director, Valerie Tetreault, expressed disappointment at the withdrawals, which are part of a growing trend of last-minute pullouts due to the demanding tennis schedule. Carlos Alcaraz will also miss the event as he recovers from a wrist injury. Tetreault is in discussions with the ATP about potential changes to alleviate the congested tournament schedule.
