The upcoming Davis Cup qualifying match between France and Canada has been impacted by player withdrawals due to physical issues.

French player Arthur Fils withdrew from the competition in Quebec, citing the need to “take full stock” of his physical condition following a year of injuries, including hip and back concerns. His departure leaves Captain Paul-Henri Mathieu searching for a replacement for the French squad.

Similarly, Canada’s Gabriel Diallo withdrew from the second-round qualifying match due to a leg injury sustained during the National Bank Open. Tennis Canada named Keegan Rice as Diallo’s replacement. Diallo expressed disappointment but indicated he intends to attend the matches in Quebec to support his teammates while undergoing rehabilitation.
