Canada’s Gabriel Diallo was forced to retire with an apparent leg injury in his second-round match at the National Bank Open presented by Rogers on Tuesday.
After dropping the first set to Italy’s Luciano Darderi, Diallo had a 3-2 lead in the second set when he decided he could no longer continue.
Diallo appeared to suffer the injury in the fifth game of the second set, as he came down awkwardly after blowing an ace by Darderi.
Gaining admission to the National Bank Open as a wild card, Diallo opened his tournament on Monday with a 6-7(1), 6-3, 6-2 over qualifier Kyrian Jacquet.
With Diallo and Shapovalov now out, any hopes of a Canadian victory on home soil now lie with Felix Auger-Aliassime.
