Canadian tennis lost its second Wimbledon finalist in as many days on Tuesday as Ons Jabeur withdrew from the WTA 1000 event in Montreal.
The injury pullout followed a decision by Novak Djokovic to skip the ATP date in Toronto starting in just under a fortnight, citing fatigue after losing in London to Carlos Alcaraz.
Tunisia’s Jabeur was last seen in tears at the Wimbledon trophy ceremony after losing the final to Czech Marketa Vondrousova.
No. 6 Jabeur, a three-time Grand Slam runner-up, said she will not be able to compete due to a knee injury.
“I feel sad that I have to withdraw from Montreal,” she said in a statement. “I hope to come back to my fans next year in Canada. Lots of love!”
Czech teenager Linda Noskova moves into the draw in place of Jabeur.
