Background

The 2025 National Bank Open, an ATP Masters 1000 event, is scheduled from July 27 to August 7 in Toronto. Notably, top-ranked players Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and Novak Djokovic have withdrawn from the tournament, potentially impacting the competition's dynamics. (reuters.com)

Considerations

• Player Withdrawals: The absence of Sinner, Alcaraz, and Djokovic may increase the chances for lower-ranked players to advance further in the tournament.

• Canadian Players: Felix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov, both ranked within the top 30, will represent Canada and have the potential to make deep runs in the tournament. (atptour.com)

• Tournament Format: The event has expanded to a 12-day format with a 96-player draw, providing more opportunities for qualifiers and lower-ranked players to progress. (atptour.com)

• Top 10 Players: With the withdrawals, the remaining top 10 players include Alexander Zverev (No. 3), Taylor Fritz (No. 4), Jack Draper (No. 5), Lorenzo Musetti (No. 7), and Ben Shelton (No. 8). Their performance will be crucial in determining the outcomes of several propositions. (houstonchronicle.com)
