The Canadian Open has taken another hit with Carlos Alcaraz announcing he's skipping the tournament, with Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner and Jack Draper also pulling out

The star from Murcia was hoping to clinch his third title in a row at Wimbledon, where he had not lost a match since 2022, but Sinner took revenge on him in the final and forced him to suffer his first career defeat in a Major final (Alcaraz had won the first five plays).

Carlos Alcaraz had never lost a Grand Slam final before last Sunday, when his top rival Jannik Sinner prevented him from winning his third trophy in a row at the Wimbledon Championships. The world number 2 had won the first set, but the Italian ace was decidedly superior to him in the rest of the match and ended his streak of consecutive victories.

Despite being his main rival on the ATP Tour, Jannik Sinner is impressive by something specific about Carlos Alcaraz — according to his coach Darren Cahill.

Although he has not won Wimbledon for the third year in a row, Carlos Alcaraz can still be very proud of his results in the first part of this season. In particular, the young Spanish ace has definitely changed gears since the tournaments began on his beloved red clay, lifting the trophy in Monte Carlo, Rome and especially at Roland Garros.
