Nadal pulls out of Paris Masters

FRENCH Open champion Rafael Nadal has pulled out of the next week’s ATP Paris Masters citing personal reasons, the French Tennis Federation said yesterday.

The world No. 3 is already guaranteed a place in the season-ending World Tour Finals in London next month.

Nadal was playing in the quarterfinals of the Swiss Indoors in Basel yesterday, his third tournament since Wimbledon, when a wrist injury curtailed his schedule. The Spaniard also needed treatment for appendicitis this month in Shanghai.

The Paris tournament has also seen US Open champion Marin Cilic pull out with an arm injury and No. 13 Ernests Gulbis withdraw due to a shoulder problem. Nadal has been replaced in the draw by compatriot Pablo Andujar while Poland’s Jerzy Janowicz, finalist in 2012, and Canadian Vasek Pospisil take the places of Cilic and Gulbis.
