Djokovich Withdraws from National Bank Open
Tennis Superstar cites fatigue
In the latest sports news here at Sports Betting in Georgia, Novak Djokovic withdraws from National Bank Open, citing fatigue. The World No. 2 is coming from the Wimbledon men’s Final which lasted almost five hours. This was Djokovic’s ninth appearance in the Wimbledon Final. And even if he lost to rising tennis star Carlo Alcaraz, it was an amazing final match between the best tennis players in the world.
It is, of course, exhausting as well. So even if Djokovic enjoys competing in Canada, he and his team believe that resting right now will be the right decision for him. He hopes to be able to return to the tournament in the future. The tennis star has won 4 Canadian Open singles titles in the past.
And given Djokovic’s age, it would be best for him to sit this one out after a grueling final. Aside from the physical toll of the tournament, he may also need to take a break and rest and come back refreshed and ready to compete again.
Djokovic is Out, Who Will Win Now?
When it comes to sports betting, the hole that Djokovic will leave needs to be filled. Who are the contenders who now have a higher chance of winning the title? For one, American player Chris Eubanks gets an entry to the main draw. Those of you who are unfamiliar with Eubanks may remember him as the player who was able to enter the Wimbledon quarterfinals as an unseeded player. In fact, he beat Stefanos Tsitsipas and Cameron Norrie.
The tournament will now have 41 of the top 42 tennis players in the world, so it is not exactly a boring tournament without Djokovic.
