Tennis-Federer withdraws from Rogers Cup in Montreal

July 29 (Reuters) - World number two Roger Federer has
withdrawn from next month's Rogers Cup in Montreal, though he
gave no reason for his decision in a statement released by
organisers on Wednesday.
Federer, a 17-times grand slam singles champion, has twice
won the elite ATP World Tour Masters event -- in Toronto in 2004
and 2006.
"I am disappointed that I won't be playing in Montreal
because it's a tournament and a city that I really enjoy and has
incredible fans," Federer, 33, said.
"My family and I have always received first-class treatment
from tournament director, Eugene Lapierre, and his team and I
hope to be back in the future."
Federer, who lost to Serbian world number one Novak Djokovic
in the Wimbledon final earlier this month, will be preparing
over the coming weeks for the Aug. 31-Sept. 13 U.S. Open, the
year's final grand slam, in New York.
Jerzy Janowicz of Poland will take Federer's place in the
main draw for the Aug. 10-16 Rogers Cup.
