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."
