Monfils And Fish Withdraw From Montreal
Montreal tournament director Eugène Lapierre announced the withdrawal of Gaël Monfils of France, who injured his ankle in training and Mardy Fish, who withdrew for personal reasons .
“I am frustrated and disappointed that I am unable to come through on the faith that Eugène put in me by giving me a wildcard,” said Monfils. “I sprained my ankle in practice this morning and received treatment before returning to the court to find that it was too painful. My doctor strongly advised me to be careful and take ten days of rest. I am sincerely sorry that I will not be able to play in Montreal.”
The withdrawal of Monfils is to the benefit of young Canadian Filip Peliwo (Vancouver, BC) who will receive the final wildcard for the main draw. The 19-year-old won two junior Grand Slam singles titles last year and finished 2012 as the no. 1 ranked junior player in the world. He will join his compatriots Frank Dancevic (Niagara Falls, ON), Jesse Levine (Ottawa, ON), Vasek Pospisil (Vancouver, BC), and Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON) in the main draw.
Fish will be replaced in the main draw by world no. 65 Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan.
