Victoria Mboko and Naomi Osaka withdrew from the Cincinnati Open on Friday, the day after their three-set final at the National Bank Open in Montreal.
Mboko, who rallied to claim her first WTA title with a 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 win, is out due to a left wrist injury.
The 18-year-old Mboko became the third Canadian woman to win her national open following Faye Urban (1969) and Bianca Andreescu (2019).
'I'm going to take care of my wrist,' she said Thursday night. 'Just do some prevention and recovery and prepare for what's to come.'
Osaka cited a change of schedule for her reason to withdraw from the Cincinnati event.
The Japanese star and Mboko were slated to receive byes into the second round by virtue of their reaching the final in Montreal.
With two spots now available, lucky losers Iva Jovic and Solana Sierra will contest one new first-round match, while Cristina Bucsa and Yuan Yue will compete in the other.
