Air doesn’t get sucked out, it blows out. The air inside the station has a certain pressure, which means the air molecules are moving around in there and constantly bouncing off the walls with enough force to generate that amount of pressure. If you take away part of the wall, the air that would have bounced off that wall just keeps going out into space.
