Overview

• Carlos Alcaraz announced his pullout on July 21, citing light muscle issues and the need for physical and mental recovery.
• Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic and Jack Draper had already withdrawn earlier due to injury and fatigue concerns following Wimbledon.
• The absence of all four top-ranked contenders has elevated Alexander Zverev to the No. 1 seed at the Masters 1000 event.
• The Toronto tournament, held from July 27 to August 7 on hard courts, awards 1,000 ranking points and serves as a key warm-up for the US Open.
• Zverev, who trained at the Rafa Nadal Academy under Toni Nadal, views this opportunity as a fresh start after his first-round exit at Wimbledon.
