Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime withdraws from the National Bank Open presented by Rogers, the Montreal tournament announces. The ATP player pulls out because of a back injury that he suffers during training. The withdrawal means he will not play the home tournament where he was scheduled as the No. 2 seed in the men’s singles draw. A source for the tournament schedule indicates he was set to face France’s Titouan Droguet in his opening match. The Globe and Mail reports that Auger-Aliassime is the third Canadian to withdraw from the men’s side with an injury. City News Toronto similarly states the injury occurred during practice and that the tournament provides the announcement in advance of scheduled play. Winnipeg Free Press relays the same CP NewsAlert information about the withdrawal and injury, without adding additional details. The tournament has not indicated any change in status for the remaining competitors, but Auger-Aliassime’s absence affects the men’s singles draw and the matchups that depend on his spot in the bracket.
