During a pre-tournament press conference at the National Bank Open in Montreal, Alexander Zverev addressed the recent withdrawals of Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner from the event. Tournament director Valérie Tétreault and Tennis Canada have suggested implementing financial penalties for players who miss mandatory events. In response to these suggestions, Zverev humorously remarked about Djokovic's financial situation, stating, "400 million in his bank". His comments reflect the ongoing debate surrounding player commitments and the financial implications of skipping tournaments. Zverev's light-hearted take on the matter has drawn attention as the tennis community navigates the complexities of player participation and tournament expectations.
