Unfortunately, Novak Djokovic is confirmed not to be part of the upcoming ATP1000 in Montreal. The Serbian legend could not participate in the event since he is not vaccinated. The tournament confirmed that Andy Murray, David Goffin, Vasek Pospisil and Alexis Galarneau were awarded a wild card for the main draw.
Apparently, Rafael Nadal will be part of the tournament. Rafa had to withdraw from the Wimbledon semi-final with an abdominal injury and there were some doubts about his participation in Canada.
