Tennis | After the final loss of Wimbledon, Carlos takes back from the Alkaraz Toronto event – why is it here. Tennis news
World No. 2 Carlos Alakraj has taken out the next week’s ATP Canadian Open in Toronto, citing the need to recover after his run in the Wimbledon final earlier this month. The organizers of the tournament confirmed the return of Spaniel on Monday. Five -time Grand Slam singles champion Alkaraz lost to World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon final on July 13. The 22 -year -old man was targeting for the third consecutive Wimbledon title. “I am really sad to remember the National Bank Open in Toronto,” Alakraj said in a statement. “I tried my best to get ready for the tournament because it’s one that I really enjoy playing, but it comes very soon for me because I recover after Wimbledon. I wish the event well and I am eager to return to Canadian courts next year. ,
Alakraj reached the quarter -finals in his best run at the Canadian Open in 2023, where he was beaten by American Tommy Paul. Karl Hale, director of the tournament, said it was disappointing to lose a player like Alakraj.

What do you think what is the biggest factor of Alakraj’s decision to withdraw?
“This is disappointing to lose a player of Carlos quality, as we know that our fans were eager to see him,” Hale said. “Although he has been at the scene for some time, he is still at the beginning of his career and there will be a lot of opportunities for Canadian people to see him again in the future.” American Sebastian Corda (World No. 33) and Hubert Harkack (World No. 38) of Poland have also withdrawn due to legs and knee injuries respectively.
