It will be this Friday, a little before midnight, when we have the complete pictures of the ATP Masters 1000 de Montreal and the WTA 1000 de Toronto. The best tennis in the world returns to Canada with two of the biggest events of the summer, where men and women will share a week of competition in search of those much-needed points to start from the best possible position for the next US Open. But until we reach New York there is still a long way to go, so we better focus on how things will be in the short term.
For now, we will begin by reviewing who are the 16 men who will leave with total security as seeded at the Montreal Masters 1000, where there will be two casualties of vital importance from the first day. Novak Djokovic (except last minute miracle) and Alexander Zverev (no longer miracle option) will not be in the game. We are talking about the current No. 2 and the current No. 6 in the world ranking, so other players will take advantage of these absences to climb positions. For example, Carlos Alcarazwho will be the third seed, or Robert Baptist, who after his title in Kitzbühel will have the luxury of starting as seeded. Here is the list according to the classification.

Regarding women, the most important loss to date is that of Danielle Collins, current No. 9 in the female ranking. The American is not having a good time, she has decided to get out of the event and will not compete again until she sees herself at 100% of her abilities. yes we will see Sofia Kenin using its protected ranking (#4) and, therefore, starting from the first line. As to Serena Williams, also with a protected ranking (#16), is one drop away from also becoming the top seed. He’ll have to wait until Friday to see if any of the favorites are injured or dropped from the roster.
