Monfils misses Paris Masters with rib injury
Fresh from qualifying for his maiden World Tour Finals, Gael Monfils announced Friday he would sit out next week's Paris Masters to nurse a rib injury.
"Gael Monfils cannot take part in the Paris Masters next week due to a rib injury," the 30-year-old Frenchman's agent Nicolas Lamperin told AFP by mail.
The World Tour Finals take place in London from November 13-20.
A semi-finalist at the US Open, Monfils sealed qualification for his first World Tour Finals Thursday when rival Dominic Thiem was defeated at the Vienna tournament.
