World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has pulled out of next month s National Bank Open in Montreal.
The tournament, slated to begin on Aug. 9, is an important tune-up prior to the U.S. Open, which starts in late August.
Djokovic, who has won the event four times, is currently competing at the Olympics in Tokyo. It would have been fantastic to have hosted Novak, tournament director Karl Hale said in a statement.

We wish him all the very best for the rest of the season.
