Ugo Humbert withdrew from the Rolex Paris Masters on Monday morning.
The French No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings, who reached last year’s final, was picking up pace on his return to indoor courts. He reached the final in Stockholm and the semi-finals in Basel, where he was forced to retire against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Humbert was scheduled to face the Spaniard again in his Paris opener on Tuesday, but he withdrew due to injury.
Dropping his points tally from reaching last year’s final, Humbert will slip outside of the Top 30 in the PIF ATP Rankings for the first time since 2023.
Valentin Royer, who fell to Sebastian Korda in the final round of qualifying, will replace Humbert in the main draw. He faces a maiden Lexus ATP Head2Head clash with the 15th-seeded Davidovich Fokina.
Humbert owns a 25-20 tour-level record this year, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index, highlighted by winning his seventh ATP Tour title in Marseille in February.
