At the end of August, the last Grand Slam of the year is the US Open will officially start. Previously, players will have two tournaments in the ATP 1000 category on the hard field to run momentum, Rogers Cup and Cincinnati Masters. These are all prestigious tournaments and receive a lot of attention from the fans fans.
However, in 2021, Rogers Cup and Cincinnati Masters will certainly reduce the attraction. The reason comes from the fact that many top players have announced their withdrawal from the tournament for different reasons. The latest is the case of Rafael Nadal.

Yesterday 11/8, Nadal has just announced the withdrawal from the Rogers Cup right before the day of the launch. The Spanish tennis player said he needs more time to recover the foot injury encountered at Citi Open. Fans expect the “crew king” to recover to participate in Cincinnati Masters on August 16.
However, this prospect will not happen. According to the latest announcement of BTC Cincinnati Masters, Nadal will not attend this year's tournament. Accordingly, the world's No. 3 player has not recovered from injury, even at risk of missing the US Open.
If this possibility occurs, this will be the first time since 2012/13, Nadal withdrew 2 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments. Earlier, the Spanish star decided to abandon Wimbledon and the Tokyo Olympic Games to have time to rest after a period of continuous plowing on the ground.
Thus, both Masters 1000 in August did not have the presence of Big 3 Tennis village. Before Nadal, both Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have announced the withdrawal.
