Tsitsipas and Davidovich Fokina Withdraw From Paris Masters
Lucky losers Nuno Borges and Adolfo Daniel Vallejo entered the draw after the Tuesday withdrawals; both replacement matches have since finished.
Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina withdrew from the Rolex Paris Masters on Tuesday before their first-round matches, opening places for lucky losers Adolfo Daniel Vallejo and Nuno Borges.
Tennis Majors reported from Paris that the tournament announced both withdrawals on Tuesday morning. Davidovich Fokina had been seeded 13th, while Tsitsipas was due to face 15th seed Learner Tien.
The official tournament draw confirms that Borges took Davidovich Fokina’s place against French wild card Moïse Kouamé. Vallejo entered the position previously held by Tsitsipas.
Both replacement matches had finished by Tuesday’s updated draw. Borges defeated Kouamé 6–3, 6–1, while Tien beat Vallejo 6–3, 5–7, 7–5 to advance. The three-set match lasted two hours and 20 minutes.
The changes follow Flavio Cobolli’s withdrawal on Monday.
Tsitsipas and Davidovich Fokina are no longer in the Paris singles field. The withdrawals and replacement results concern this tournament; they do not establish either player’s availability for later events.
