Montreal
Canada loses second Wimbledon finalist with Jabeur pullout
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.
