Part of situation: Top tennis stars withdraw from Montreal Masters (2 clusters)

Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic withdraw from Montreal Masters 1000

Jannik Sinner Novak Djokovic Montreal Masters withdrawals ATP schedule

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner and 24‑time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic announced they will not compete in the National Bank Open in Montreal, scheduled for 2‑13 August. Sinner said he “took the difficult decision to withdraw… to prioritise my health,” after winning Wimbledon and having already captured the first five ATP Masters 1000 events of the season. Djokovic, who lost to Sinner in the Wimbledon semi‑finals, cited workload management and will again skip the Canadian event, which he last played in 2018.

The tournament organizers expressed strong disappointment, noting that the withdrawals of Sinner and Djokovic – together with the ongoing injury absence of Carlos Alcaraz – leave the event without three of the sport’s top stars. Tournament director Valérie Tétréault said the frequency of last‑minute pull‑outs “raises a broader issue for our sport” and called for schedule adjustments to protect the integrity of Masters 1000 tournaments.

With Sinner’s withdrawal the chance to complete a historic sweep of all nine Masters 1000 titles in a single year is gone, and Alexander Zverev will become the top seed in Montreal.

Entities: Alexander Zverev · Jannik Sinner · National Bank Open · Novak Djokovic · Valérie Tétréault
