Grigor Dimitrov has refused to participate in the next Paris Masters. The information arrived minutes ago from the tournament organizers. The reason for our first rocket decision is a foot injury.
Paris-Bercy update:
OUT: Dimitrov
IN: 4th Lucky Loser– Updates to the entry list (@EntryLists) October 31, 2020
The Bulgarian today becomes the fourth player to withdraw from the tournament. Before him, Dominic Thiem, Christian Garin and Fernando Verdasco did. Similar to their places in the scheme, Dimitrov’s will be filled by a player who will be determined by the “happy loser” system.
The non-participation of our first racket in the tournament will not mean a loss of points in the world ranking due to the current regulations for the formation of the ranking. In last year’s edition of the tournament, Dimitrov reached the semi-finals, which means that only a possible participation in this year’s final would increase his point asset in the rankings.
Although the news is unpleasant, it also gives local fans hope that Dimitrov may decide to participate in the Sofia Open. The tournament at Arena Armeec begins on November 7, the day the semifinals will be played in Paris. Earlier this month, tournament organizers in Sofia said they had a wild card specifically for Dimitrov and awaited his decision.
