Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner, 24-time Grand Slam title winner Novak Djokovic, and No. 5-ranked Jack Draper have all withdrawn from the Masters 1,000 tournament in Toronto, which starts in a week, citing injuries.
The No. 1-ranked Sinner cited an injured right elbow, which he sustained in a fall during the fourth round at the All England Club while progressing to his first title there and fourth major trophy. He won his first Masters 1000 title in Toronto in 2023.
“Winning that title in Toronto two years ago marked the beginning of a really special moment for me, but after consulting with my team, I must prioritise my recovery,” Sinner said.
Djokovic attributed his withdrawal to a groin injury, affecting his participation in an event he has won four times. He lost to Sinner in the semifinals at Wimbledon.
Draper will miss both Toronto and the Cincinnati Masters next month due to a problem with his left arm, which means he will not compete in a hard-court tune-up tournament before the US Open begins on August 24.
“After Wimbledon, I developed an injury in my left arm, nothing serious, but I need to ensure it fully recovers for the remainder of the season,” Draper posted on social media. “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to compete in Toronto and Cincinnati… See you in NYC!”
