- The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) believes a string of withdrawals from the Canadian Open underscore concerns that professional tennis's lengthy calendar and expanded top-level events are increasing injury risks.
- The players' advocacy group said it was saddened but not surprised by the absences from the tournament, arguing that reduced recovery time between tournaments was contributing to injuries occurring earlier in the season and becoming more serious.
- The Canadian Open men's event in Montreal was hit by the withdrawals of world number one Jannik Sinner and 24-time grand slam
