The Canadian Open is facing a growing withdrawal list as top players Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu have both pulled out of the Masters 1000 event. With the tournament set to commence soon, the absence of these stars could impact the competition's appeal and dynamics. Alcaraz's withdrawal, in particular, comes as a surprise given his recent performances, while Raducanu’s ongoing struggles with injuries have been well-documented. As the event approaches, it is anticipated that more players may join the withdrawal list, further altering the tournament landscape and presenting opportunities for other competitors.
