TORONTO — Carlos Alcaraz pulled out of the Toronto Masters tournament on Monday, a day after Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic and Jack Draper withdrew from the hard-court event that begins next week.

However, Jannik erased the deficit and sealed the deal in straight sets, becoming the first player since 2017 to defeat Djokovic before the final at Wimbledon. The Serb felt good about his All England Club campaign, wishing for more in Cincinnati and New York.

Several top tennis stars, including Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Jack Draper, and Aryna Sabalenka, have withdrawn from the upcoming tournaments in Toronto and Montreal. The pullouts come a week after Wimbledon finished with little turnaround time after French Open on clay.
