World number one Jannik Sinner has pulled out of the upcoming National Bank Open in Toronto because of an elbow problem. The Italian tennis star recently captured his second Grand Slam title of 2025 at Wimbledon. He previously claimed the Toronto championship in 2023 when the tournament last visited the Canadian city. Sinner defeated Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon semifinals for his fifth straight win against the Serbian player. Tournament organizers confirmed his withdrawal alongside Djokovic and British player Jack Draper.
Carlos Alcaraz leads the remaining field as the second-ranked player in the world. The Spanish champion holds five Grand Slam victories and seven Masters 1000 trophies but has never won in Toronto. Three Canadian players earned direct entry through their top-40 rankings for the first time since 2021. Félix Auger-Aliassime, Denis Shapovalov, and Gabriel Diallo will represent the host nation. Shapovalov enters the tournament after winning the Los Cabos title on Sunday.
