While the ATP circuit continues to squeeze the calendar and expand the tournaments despite the players' refusal, there is one event that is doomed to not feature the best tennis players in the world: the Masters 1000 in Canada. Its placing, three weeks after Wimbledon, and its duration, two weeks, coupled with Cincinnati following, which is another two weeks, and then the US Open, leads many players to decide to skip it in order to arrive in the best possible shape for the New York major event.

Alexander Bublik is the latest player to join the list of withdrawals from the Masters 1000 in Canada

This was the case for Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner, while Carlos Alcaraz is out due to a wrist injury. They are joined by Jack Draper, Tomas Machac, Holger Rune, still injured, Sebastian Korda, and Alejandro Davidovich. But another name must be added to this list: Alexander Bublik.

The Kazakh player withdraws from the Canadian tournament after participating in the post-Wimbledon summer clay court tour over the past two weeks. The ATP World No. 11 had to defend the titles in Gstaad and Kitzbuhel. Although he fell in the first round in Switzerland, he made it to the final in Austria, where he couldn't retain the champion's trophy against Quentin Halys.

Bublik adds to a list to which no one doubts that more names will be added. While in the women's draw, taking place in Toronto rather than Montreal for the men, there are also seven withdrawals: Karolina Muchova, Victoria Mboko, Hailey Baptiste, Emma Raducanu, Jasmine Paolini, Dayana Yastremska, and Petra Marcinko.

The absence of so many players, both in the ATP and WTA, opens up a range of possibilities for those players accustomed to the middle class of the circuit to make a big impact in one of the most important tennis tournaments in the world, such as the Masters 1000 in Canada, but the calendar and its organizers do not seem to be helping.
