Novak Djokovic withdrew from the Canadian Masters tournament in Toronto

The Serbian explained the defeat by the fatigue accumulated at the London Grand Slam.

At the age of 36, Nole was beaten at Wimbledon by Alcaraz after an epic final that lasted 4 hours and 45 minutes, 1-6, 7-6(6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4.

“I’ve always liked coming to play in Canada, but after discussing it with my team, we feel it’s the right decision.

I would like to thank Carl Hale, the tournament director, for understanding this decision. I hope with all my heart that I can return to Canada and Toronto in the coming years to play in front of some incredible fans.” – Novak Djokovic.
