Nine players have withdrawn from the 2026 Paris Masters, including Jannik Sinner, João Fonseca, Félix Auger-Aliassime and Jakub Menšík. The tournament, the final Masters event on the ATP Tour calendar, has seen further withdrawals since play began, with injuries and illness affecting the field.
Auger-Aliassime ended his season early, while Menšík is targeting a return for the Davis Cup. Flavio Cobolli has also withdrawn and hopes to return for the ATP Finals if he qualifies. Stefanos Tsitsipas pulled out because of a right shoulder injury, which also kept him out of the Swiss Indoors. Alejandro Davidovich Fokina withdrew while still suffering from illness.
The list of withdrawals and replacements also includes Alexander Blockx and Alexander Bublik. The replacements are Matteo Berrettini for Auger-Aliassime, Sebastián Báez for Blockx, Mariano Navone for Bublik, Thiago Agustín Tirante for Cobolli, Luca Van Assche for Fonseca, Quentin Halys for Menšík, Daniel Mérida for Sinner, Adolfo Daniel Vallejo for Tsitsipas and Nuno Borges for Davidovich Fokina.
Vallejo is set to face Learner Tien in the first round. Borges, brought in as a lucky loser, is scheduled to play teenage wildcard Moise Kouamé on Tuesday, November 3. The Paris Masters runs from November 2 to 8, with Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev and Ben Shelton among the players still in action.
