While already two players have withdrawn from the Turin Masters, namely Matteo Berrettini and Stefanos Tsitsipas, both replaced by Jannik Sinner and Cameron Norrie, ATP has called on Aslan Karatsev in anticipation of a potential new package.
Yet ahead of him in the Race standings, Félix Auger-Aliassime probably had to refuse the invitation because of a knee pain he had recently felt which also led him to forfeit the final stages of the Davis Cup. with Canada scheduled for November 25.
Moreover, the Russian could well be called upon to replace Hubert Hurkacz, who has not trained all day. If no information confirms for the moment a possible withdrawal of the Pole, the ATP preferred not to take any risk by summoning Karatsev in the Piedmont city.
