Create Account Alcaraz said in a statement issued by tournament organizers Monday that the tournament comes too soon after his appearance in the Wimbledon final on July 13. The world No. 2 announced his withdrawal the day after top-ranked Jannik Sinner, 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, and world No. 5 Jack Draper pulled out of the ATP Masters-level hardcourt event. Sinner, who defeated Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final, said he injured his elbow in a fall at the All England Club. He won his first Masters title in Toronto in 2023. '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 recover,' Sinner said. Djokovic blamed a groin injury for his withdrawal from an event he has won four times, while Draper is recovering from a forearm injury. The women's NBO tournament in Montreal has also had high-profile players withdraw, including world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. The NBO tournaments start Saturday with one-day qualifying events.

(Photo by Zhao Dingzhe/Xinhua via Getty Images) Xinhua News Agency via Getty Images NEW YORK — Olympic gold medalist Zheng Qinwen withdrew from the U.S. Open on Monday, two days after announcing she had arthroscopic surgery on her right elbow because of 'persistent pain.' The sixth-ranked Zheng was coming off a first-round loss at Wimbledon last month. 'Over the past months, I've been dealing with persistent pain in my right elbow during training and matches,' the right-handed 22-year-old from China said on social media Saturday. 'Despite trying various treatments to manage it, the discomfort never fully went away.' Zheng said she anticipated her recovery would take months, so the exit from the year's last Grand Slam tournament was not a surprise. The U.S. Open begins Aug. 24. She was replaced in the field by France's Leolia Jeanjean.

Create Account The Save Wimbledon Park group took legal action against the Greater London Authority's decision to grant planning permission last year. Aside from concerns about the environment and overall scale, opponents argued that the adjacent property that was a golf course when the All England Club bought it in 2018 is subject to restrictions that favor preservation of open spaces for the public. Wimbledon's plan includes adding an 8,000-seat stadium with a retractable roof and 38 other grass courts that would allow the All England Club to move its qualifying event on-site to boost attendance and revenue. 'In short, the defendant's decision on the relevance of deliverability, applying to both the statutory trust and the restrictive covenants, was a planning judgment rationally exercised and having regard to appropriate and relevant factors,' judge Justice Saini said. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam tournament that holds its qualifying rounds at a completely separate location. There are also too few practice courts in the current setup, requiring some of the world's best players to share courts. 'We are delighted that Mr. Justice Saini has dismissed the challenge to the GLA's decision to grant planning permission for our plans to transform the former Wimbledon Park golf course,' said Deborah Jevans, chair of the All England Club. 'It is clear that we have a robust planning permission that enables us to create a permanent home for the Wimbledon qualifying competition as well as delivering 27 acres of beautiful new park land for local people, providing public access to land that has been a private golf course for over 100 years,' Jevans added. The next hurdle in the process is a hearing in January over whether there is a statutory trust over the former golf course land. ___ AP tennis: Uncategorized Toronto & GTA Editorial Cartoons Columnists Canada
