TORONTO (AP) \u2014 Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner<\/a>, 24-time Grand Slam title winner Novak Djokovic and No. 5-ranked Jack Draper all withdrew Sunday from the Masters 1000 tournament in Toronto that starts in a week, citing injuries.<\/p>\n

The No. 1-ranked Sinner<\/a> blamed his right elbow, which he hurt in a fall in the fourth round at the All England Club on the way to his first title there and fourth major trophy.<\/p>\n

He won his first Masters 1000 title in Toronto in 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning that title in Toronto two years ago was the start of a really special moment for me, but after speaking with my team, I have to recover,\u201d Sinner said.<\/p>\n

Djokovic said a groin injury was why he pulled out from an event he has won four times.<\/p>\n

He lost to Sinner in the semifinals at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

Draper will miss Toronto and the Cincinnati Masters next month because of a problem with his left arm, meaning he won\u2019t have any hard-court tuneup tournament before the U.S. Open begins on Aug. 24.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Wimbledon I picked up an injury in my left arm, nothing serious, but I have to make sure it recovers fully for the rest of the season,\u201d Draper posted on social media. \u201cUnfortunately, I won\u2019t be able to compete in Toronto and Cincinnati\u2026. See you in NYC!\u201d<\/p>\n
