The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) has raised alarms over rising injury risks linked to tennis's demanding calendar, following multiple withdrawals from the Canadian Open.

High-profile absences, including Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, and others, have spotlighted the strain placed on athletes due to insufficient recovery time. The PTPA's medical analysis reveals an alarming increase in injuries, attributing this trend to the extended tournament schedule.
