SloveniaThe article reports on rain disrupting tennis matches at the Canadian hard-court tournaments in Toronto and Montreal. The women's WTA 1000 tournament in Toronto started with seven matches including American legend Venus Williams, who lost to Uzbekistan's Kamila Rahimova. In Montreal, the men's Masters 1000 event faced worsening weather, leading organizers to pause play and reschedule for the next day. Only two of the originally planned 14 matches were played. Top players like Italy's Jannik Sinner, Serbia's Novak Djokovic, and Spain's Carlos Alcaraz were absent due to various reasons, including injuries. Canadian organizers have called for sanctions against missing players ahead of the U.S. Open. German player Alexander Zverev criticized financial penalties as ineffective and warned about the risks of overexertion and player withdrawals due to excessively long matches and tournaments.
