Montreal lost two headliners. Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic withdrew from the National Bank Open Tennis Canada confirmed. Neither has played since Wimbledon; Sinner said health comes first.
Who rises
Without Sinner, Alexander Zverev is expected to be the top seed and Felix Auger-Aliassime second at home. Alcaraz was already out, so the tours top trio skips Canada again.
Calendar
The July 31 draw still happens: qualifying Aug 1, main draw from Aug 2. Cincinnati and the US Open remain the next windows for Sinner and Novak.
