Many lumps in view of the US Open: in addition to the number 1 Sinner the Masters 1000 in Canada loses many big names. Carlos will return to the field in Cincinnati, on August 7th. Only one test on concrete, before the US Open
“It is played too much, so they will kill us.” The outburst of Carlos Alcaraz dates back to last year, but it is always topical. Spanish is not the only one to think that the crowded calendar is one of the reasons for the increase in accidents. Also for this reason, every now and then he decides to preserve himself. The renunciation of the Toronto Masters 1000 was in the air, today the official has arrived. The number 2 of the world, after the amazing season on Earth and the final of Wimbledon lost against Sinner, will return to the field in Cincinnati, the second 1000 of the American summer trip, kicks off on August 7. A single test on concrete, before the US Open that will start on August 24th.

Alcaraz, therefore, imitates Sinner. And they are not the only flat -rate. In Toronto there will not even be Novak Djokovic, back from the semifinal to Wimbledon, where he had accused a muscle discomfort in the groin. But the 38 -year -old Serbian champion has decided for some time to sip the energies focusing on the Slam. The fourth illustrious absence bears the name of Jack Draper, struggling with an accident in the left arm that will force him to skip Cincinnati also doubting the recovery for Flushing Meadows. In Toronto, therefore, the first seed will be Alexander Zverev, who asked Toni Nadal for help to play the latest cards in an attempt to break the Duopoly Sinner-Alcaraz. Duopolio who will return to the scene, in fact, to Cincinnati.

The renunciation of Toronto, being one of the mandatory tournaments for the ranking, will penalize the first two players in the world in their best 19 (i.e. the best 19 results that make up the ranking). The Canada Open, in fact, cannot be replaced with another tournament but will remain there with zero points. The medium-long term strategies of the players prevailed. Moreover, from this year both Toronto and Cincinnati are played on the distance of 12 days, one following the other, with not even a week of respite before the US Open, making the Overseas’ trip long and exhausting.
