Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic Withdraw From National Bank Open in Montreal
- On Friday, Tennis Canada announced that Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic have withdrawn from the National Bank Open, removing two top players from the ATP Masters tournament in Montreal scheduled for August 1-13.
- Sinner, Djokovic, and Carlos Alcaraz missed last year's event in Toronto when the 12-day tournament began two weeks after Wimbledon; officials expected fewer withdrawals this year with three weeks between the All England Club finals and Montreal.
- Sinner said, "It is never easy to miss such an important event, but we believe this is the right decision to prioritize my health." Seven-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz remains sidelined with a right wrist injury.
- French Open champion Alexander Zverev is now the tournament's top seed, while Montreal native Felix Auger-Aliassime is seeded second, making him the highest-seeded Canadian in National Bank Open history.
- Both the Italian Sinner and 39-year-old Djokovic could return at the Cincinnati Open, with main-draw play beginning the day the National Bank Open ends, just before the Open in late August.
