Carlos Alcaraz has decided to withdraw from the US Open tuneup tournament in Montreal after reaching the Paris Olympics semifinals. The 21-year-old tennis star, who has recently claimed victories at the French Open and Wimbledon, cited fatigue as the reason for his withdrawal.

Alcaraz, who is aiming to win a singles medal for Spain at his first Summer Games, announced his decision through a statement released by the National Bank Open, an ATP Masters 1000 event set to begin on August 6. “Due to the accumulation of matches and fatigue,” Alcaraz said, explaining his need for rest.

Alongside Alcaraz, top-30 players Francisco Cerundolo and Jiri Lehecka have also withdrawn from the event. As a result, Marcos Giron, Alexei Popyrin, and Flavio Cobolli will fill their spots in the tournament.

The withdrawal of Alcaraz, a rising star in the tennis world, is a significant development as he was considered a key contender in the upcoming US Open. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how he manages his recovery and preparation for future competitions.
