Paul Withdraws from Paris: End of Season for World No. 20

Absent since the US Open, Tommy Paul will not play again this season.

Paul played the last match of his season at the US Open. Defeated in five sets by Alexander Bublik in the third round at Flushing Meadows, the American has not reappeared in official competition since.

Having withdrawn from the Laver Cup, the Shanghai Masters 1000, the Stockholm tournament where he was the defending champion, and this week's Vienna tournament, the 28-year-old player, ranked 20th in the world, is forced to withdraw from another tournament.

Indeed, Paul, suffering from foot and abdominal issues in recent weeks, has withdrawn from the Paris Masters 1000 taking place next week. Just hours after Arthur Fils, this marks a second long-term absentee withdrawing from the tournament in the French capital. His compatriot Marcos Giron takes advantage of this to enter the main draw without going through the qualifying rounds.
