Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic and Jack Draper have withdrawn from the 2025 National Bank Open in Toronto due to injury, the tournament announced Sunday.

Sinner is recovering from an elbow injury sustained during his fourth-round match at Wimbledon; however he persevered and went on to win the tournament. The 23-year-old Italian won the Canadian ATP 1000 Masters Tournament in 2023, the last time it was held in Toronto.

"Winning that title in Toronto two years ago was the start of a really special moment for me," Sinner, the World No. 1, said in a statement. "But after speaking with my team, I have to recover."

Djokovic, 38, is nursing a groin injury and the fifth-ranked Draper, 23, is dealing with an arm injury.

Australia's Jordan Thompson also withdrew from the tournament, which is slated to be played from July 27 through Aug. 7 at Sobeys Stadium in Toronto.

Spain's Roberto Carballes Baena, Austria's Sebastian Ofner, Russia's Roman Safiullin and American Aleksandar Kovacevic were inserted into the main draw.

Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev of Germany, the World No. 2 and 3 players, respectively, are entered in the tournament.
