Sinner and Djokovic Withdraw From Montreal National Bank Open

Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic have withdrawn from the National Bank Open in Montreal, according to reports from the ATP Tour, Toronto Star, and France 24. The absence of two of the tour’s top-ranked players alters the competitive landscape and the draw for the Canadian Open.

CityNews Montreal and Tennisuptodate.com reported that the decision by Sinner and Djokovic to exit the tournament shakes up the bracket, removing two primary contenders from the Montreal Masters field.

Impact on the National Bank Open Draw

The removal of Sinner and Djokovic creates significant openings in the tournament’s seeding and matchups. According to Tennisuptodate.com, these withdrawals directly influence the draw, potentially providing a clearer path for other seeded players to advance deeper into the competition.

The National Bank Open is a key stop on the ATP Tour, serving as a critical lead-up event for players seeking points and momentum. The absence of a multi-Grand Slam champion like Djokovic and a top-tier contender like Sinner shifts the focus toward the remaining favorites in the field.

Tournament Context and Player Status

While the ATP Tour confirmed the withdrawals, specific reasons for the decisions by Sinner and Djokovic were not detailed in the immediate reports from France 24 or the Toronto Star.
