Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic have withdrawn from the National Bank Open Presented by Rogers, the tournament announced on Sunday.
The No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings, Sinner lifted the trophy the last time the Canadian ATP Masters 1000 was held in Toronto in 2023, while the 38-year-old Djokovic is a four-time National Bank Open Presented by Rogers champion. British No. 1 Jack Draper has also withdrawn from the Toronto draw due to an arm injury.
“I’m really disappointed to be missing the National Bank Open in Toronto, especially as I have such fond memories of playing in Canada," Sinner said.
"Winning that title in Toronto two years ago was the start of a really special moment for me, but after speaking with my team, I have to prioritise my health. I would like to thank Karl Hale, the Tournament Director, for everything he does and I’m looking forward to returning to Canada and Toronto in the future to play in front of the great fans.”
After finishing his standout 2024 with his maiden triumph at the Nitto ATP Finals, Sinner lifted his second major title of 2025 a week ago at Wimbledon, where he defeated Djokovic in the semi-finals for his fifth consecutive victory in the pair's Lexus ATP Head2Head series. In the absence of Sinner and Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz and former champion Alexander Zverev will headline the field in Toronto.
Alcaraz and Zverev are joined by other Top 10 stars including Taylor Fritz, Lorenzo Musetti and Holger Rune, as well as Canadian hopes Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime. The 2025 edition National Bank Open Presented by Rogers runs from July 27 to August 7 at Sobeys Stadium in Toronto.
