The world No. 1 male tennis player has withdrawn from this week’s tournament after confirming a knee problem, tournament officials said on Monday. The player, who has held the top ranking for the past several months, informed the organizers of his inability to compete, citing the injury as the sole reason for his absence.
The withdrawal reshapes the event’s draw, opening a slot for a lower‑seeded entrant and potentially altering the competition’s dynamics as other top contenders vie for the title. Tournament officials added that the player will continue treatment and remain under medical supervision, with a decision on his return to the tour expected after further evaluation.
