Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner, 24-time Grand Slam title winner Novak Djokovic, and No. 5-ranked Jack Draper have all withdrawn from the Masters 1000 tournament in Toronto, leaving the event with a significantly weaker field. The withdrawal of these top players has sparked speculation about the tournament’s competitiveness and potential impact on its prestige. Organizers have not yet commented on the reasons behind the withdrawals, but it is expected that the draw will be adjusted to accommodate the new field.
With the absence of Sinner, Djokovic, and Draper, the remainder of the field will be decided by the next round of qualifying matches. Players such as Casper Ruud, Alexander Zverev, and Stefanos Tsitsipas are among the favorites to make the final stages of the tournament. The organizers have also announced that they will be reviewing their player selection process for future events, citing the need for greater diversity and balance in the field.
