Carlos Alcaraz becomes latest leading player to withdraw from Canadian Open
Carlos Alcaraz, the world's No. 2 tennis player, has withdrawn from the upcoming Canadian Open tournament. Alcaraz's decision comes amidst a series of withdrawals from other top-ranked male players, including Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, and Jack Draper. The players have opted to skip the Toronto tournament, which is scheduled to begin on Saturday, in order to focus on recovering physically and mentally before the final Grand Slam of the season, the US Open, which starts on August 25. While the lineup in Toronto will now be headed by players like Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz, the absence of Alcaraz and other leading names has undoubtedly impacted the overall competitiveness and star power of the Canadian Open.
