JAKARTA The world number one in Italy, Jannik Sinner, has decided to withdraw from the Paris Masters 2024 due to the virus.

A 23-year-old tennis player made the announcement of this resignation on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. The place was replaced by French tennis player Arthur Cazaux.

Sinner was actually already preparing to appear in the important event that took place at the AccorHotels Arena, but then he felt sick.

"I am very disappointed to let you know that I cannot play in this tournament," Sinner said in a video message shared by the organizers.

He continued that he was in good condition and might have improved in the next few days.

"Currently I am exposed to a virus that will disappear in the next two or three days. From a physical point of view, I am not ready to compete," he said.

Sinner is one of two big names who decided to withdraw from this event.

Earlier last week, the owner of 24 Grand Slam titles, Novak Djokovic, also resigned from the Paris Masters 2024, the last ATP 1000 event of this year.

"I am very sorry for this. I will meet you in Paris next year. Hopefully this year will be a great year," said Sinner.

Sinner had an incredible season this year. He won two of the four Grand Slams and moved up to first place.

He won his first Grand Slam earlier this year at the Australian Open and then raised his second title at the US Open.
