Novak Djokovic withdrew from the National Bank Open, opting for additional rest after his loss to Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final.
Tennis Canada announced that Djokovic pulled out of the only Canadian stop on the ATP Tour schedule due to fatigue. The 36-year-old, 23-time Grand Slam champion was set to begin his hard-court preparations for the U.S. Open after falling to the top-ranked Alcaraz last Sunday in a five-set final at Wimbledon.
바카라I have always enjoyed my time in Canada but after speaking with my team, we believe this is the right decision to take,바카라 said Djokovic, who has won the National Bank Open four times.
바카라I would like to thank Karl Hale, the tournament director, for understanding this decision. I really hope I can return to Canada and Toronto in the coming years to play in front of great fans there.바카라
American Christopher Eubanks will gain automatic entry into the main draw as Djokovic바카라s replacement. Eubanks is fresh off a surprising quarterfinal run at Wimbledon, where he beat No. 5 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas and No. 12 seed Cam Norrie en route to the final eight.
바카라Of course, we바카라re disappointed that Novak won바카라t be playing at the National Bank Open this year,바카라 Hale said. 바카라He바카라s an incredible player and one we know our fans were eager to watch at Sobeys Stadium.
바카라He will be missed but we still have a long list of sensational players confirmed for this year바카라s event, including 41 of the top 42 players in the world.바카라
Toronto바카라s Sobeys Stadium will host the men바카라s side of the national tennis championship from Aug. 3 to Aug. 13. The women바카라s side will be at Montreal바카라s IGA Stadium at the same time.
