A royal road for Alcaraz?
Jack Draper, world n ° 5, still suffers from the arm. Beaten in the second round of Wimbledon by Croatian Marin Cilic, the Briton has not appeared on a tennis court since July 3. On the other hand, the other tenors of the world top 10 should participate in the Masters 1000 in Toronto where the world n ° 2, Carlos Alcaraz, will naturally be a scarecrow.
Absent from this Masters 1000 last year, the Spaniard never won a tournament in Canada. On American soil, he has already triumphed in Miami, at the US Open and Indian Wells twice.
