After Wimbledon final loss, Carlos Alcaraz withdraws from Toronto event - here's why
Carlos Alcaraz in the Men's Singles Final at Wimbledon 2025 (Photo by) World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz has pulled out of next week's ATP Canadian Open in Toronto, citing the need to recover after his run to the Wimbledon final earlier this month. Tournament organisers confirmed the Spaniard's withdrawal on Monday. Alcaraz, a five-time Grand Slam singles champion, lost to world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon final on July 13. The 22-year-old had been aiming for a third consecutive Wimbledon title. "I'm really sad to have to miss the National Bank Open in Toronto," Alcaraz said in a statement. "I tried my best to be ready for the tournament as it's one I really enjoy playing, but it comes just too soon for me as I recover after Wimbledon. I wish the event well and look forward to being back on the Canadian courts next year." Alcaraz reached the quarter-finals in his best run at the Canadian Open in 2023, where he was beaten by American Tommy Paul. Tournament director Karl Hale said losing a player like Alcaraz was disappointing. Poll What do you think is the biggest factor in Alcaraz's decision to withdraw? Wimbledon fatigue and recovery Injury concerns "It's disappointing to lose a player of Carlos' quality, as we know our fans were looking forward to watching him," Hale said. "Although he has been on the scene for a while, he's still at the beginning of his career and there will be plenty of opportunities for Canadians to see him again in the future." American Sebastian Korda (world No. 33) and Poland's Hubert Hurkacz (world No. 38) have also withdrawn due to leg and knee injuries, respectively.

Kate Middleton left 'in tears' after Wimbledon Centre Court 'courageous' act
Princess Kate Middleton was visibly emotional as she arrived at Centre Court for the 2024 Wimbledon Men's Singles Final. Her appearance marked a poignant moment, following months of treatment for a private cancer diagnosis earlier in the year. Throughout this time, the Princess had intentionally kept a low public profile. However, according to royal biographer Robert Jobson in his book Catherine, the Princess of Wales: The Biography, Kate was aware of the comfort her presence could bring to others during challenging times. Jobson suggests this awareness may have played a role in her decision to attend Wimbledon, not only because of her deep love for tennis, but also due to the powerful message her appearance would send.

"At the same time, she was equally aware of the reassurance and comfort that she could provide to those in a similar predicament," reports Wales Online. "On the afternoon of 14 July, the 15,000 spectators packed inside Wimbledon's Centre Court rose as one to welcome the Princess to the Men's Singles Final of the tennis championships. Many in the crowd were in tears. "It was not just the shy smile on the face of the tennis-loving Princess, thrilled to be at one of her favourite events, that set them off. It was also the fact that a beaming nine-year-old Princess Charlotte was at her side." Kate has since finished her chemotherapy treatment and has begun making additional public outings. However, specifics regarding her cancer diagnosis haven't been revealed. The Duchess of Cambridge attended this year's Women's and Men's Singles Final of the competition, joined by Prince William and kids Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Before this, there had been speculation about her attendance at this year's Wimbledon fixtures, with suggestions she may skip the Women's Final should a player from Belarus or Russia look set to triumph. Russia remains engaged in conflict with Ukraine, a British ally, whilst Belarus supports Russia - creating a delicate situation should a member of the Royal Family present silverware to a competitor from either nation. Beyond the tennis tournament, attention has turned to Kate's nutrition, with the Princess reportedly incorporating a £1.48 superfood into her daily routine that could help combat inflammation. The superfood being discussed is blueberries, a berry thought to provide numerous wellness advantages. Discussing their effects, Dr Federica Amati explained: "Blueberries are touted as a superfood that we should be consuming every day. The evidence is really good - blueberries are a great fruit to add to your daily diet. "But it's important to remember that we need a diversity of plants, so enjoy your blueberries, but make sure they're not the only fruit you're eating."

Kate Middleton left Wimbledon's Centre Court 'in tears' after 'courageous' act
Kate's appearance at the Men's Singles Final at Wimbledon in 2024 could have offered solace to others, a Royal biographer said. Princess Kate Middleton was moved to tears upon her arrival at Wimbledon's Centre Court for the 2024 Men's Singles Final. The Princess had been undergoing treatment for an undisclosed cancer diagnosis throughout the first half of the year prior to making this public appearance. During this period, Kate had maintained a deliberately low profile, though Royal biographer Robert Jobson reveals in his book Catherine, the Princess of Wales: The Biography that she recognised how her public presence could offer solace to others. Robert suggests this understanding may have influenced her decision to attend Wimbledon - not merely due to her passion for tennis, but because of the symbolic significance her attendance would carry. "The world would also have intermittent glimpses of the steely inner strength of the Princess of Wales as the year continued," he noted. "At the same time, she was equally aware of the reassurance and comfort that she could provide to those in a similar predicament," reports Wales Online. "On the afternoon of 14 July, the 15,000 spectators packed inside Wimbledon's Centre Court rose as one to welcome the Princess to the Men's Singles Final of the tennis championships.
