Alexander Zverev Comments on Novak Djokovic's Absence from ATP Montreal Masters

Alexander Zverev has dismissed suggestions that financial incentives could persuade Novak Djokovic to participate in ATP Montreal Masters and similar tournaments. Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, withdrew from the ATP 1000 event, a decision that was confirmed last month. Zverev stated that it would be a 'waste of time' to try to entice Djokovic with money, implying the Serbian star is not motivated by such factors. Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have also withdrawn from the Montreal tournament.
