Musetti, De Minaur, Baez, Struff, and Zhang have all withdrawn from the Montreal tournament following Novak Djokovic’s withdrawal. This has led to some changes in the entry list, with players like Nishikori and Martinez stepping in to fill the spots left vacant by the withdrawals.
The intense schedules and the sudden change of surface from grass (Wimbledon) to clay (Paris) and hard in Montreal proved too much.
