Withdrawals Among Big Names Highlight National Bank Open
Canadian fans face disappointment as top players including Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and Novak Djokovic withdraw from the National Bank Open. Félix Auger-Aliassime, Montreal native and Canada’s top male player, says withdrawals are understandable yet saddening for the home crowd. He notes the North American swing aims for peaks at the U S Open, so injuries and strategic rests drive absences. The event in Toronto and Montreal features 12 days and 96 players, with several other withdrawals reshaping the draw for Auger-Aliassime and fellow Canadians Denis Shapovalov and Milos Raonic referenced in context. Bianca Andreescu is noted for her 2019 women’s title and Auger-Aliassime’s recent opening-pitch appearance at Rogers Centre before a Jays game.
