It was to be one of the attractions of this Rolex Paris Masters. Due to a knee injury which had already forced him to give up his semi-final against Taylor Fritz in Tokyo two weeks ago, Nick Kyrgios is forced to also withdraw from the Parisian Masters 1000, according to Eurosport.
A blow for director Cédric Pioline and the organizers as Kyrgios (27) is having the best season of his career, including a final at Wimbledon, a quarter at the US Open and a victory in Washington.
