Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the Rolex Paris Masters due to a virus. The Italian announced the news during a press conference on Tuesday.

“It's a very tough announcement,” Sinner said. “I'm not going to play here in Paris. We came here very early to prepare in the best possible way. After the first practice session, I really didn't felt good. I also talked with the doctor on Sunday, it's a virus, what makes you feel better in three or four days.

“Today I feel better already a little bit, but the body is not ready to compete and I still feel very, very weak. It doesn't make sense to go on court and try to compete for this tournament. [I am very] disappointed because it's a tournament where I would like to see where my level is at. That was one of my main goals for this week. But unfortunately I cannot make this happen.”

Sinner holds a 65-6 record on the season and has already clinched ATP Year-End No. 1 presented by PIF honours. The 23-year-old Italian, who has won a Tour-lead seven titles in 2024, was aiming to make his fourth appearance in Paris.

The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings will next head to Turin to lead the field at the Nitto ATP Finals, to be held from 10-17 November.

"The most important part is to recover and get back physically 100 per cent," Sinner added. "The next three, four days, I [hope to] feel better and then I can start to hit and the main goal is going to be Turin."

Frenchman Arthur Cazaux has received a lucky loser spot and will face Ben Shelton or Corentin Moutet in the second round.
