Andy Murray Warned ATP: 'You Don't Have to Play' – Now Sinner and Djokovic Skip Canada Open

Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic have both withdrawn from the 2026 Canadian Open, reigniting debate over the overloaded ATP tennis calendar. The absences recall warnings from Andy Murray, who noted that penalties for skipping Masters 1000 events are insufficiently harsh, amounting only to zero ranking points with no risk of suspension. Murray had argued that the expanded two-week Masters 1000 format increases player fatigue and that top players effectively face no serious consequences for skipping tournaments.
