Matteo Berrettini (15e in the ATP ranking) was forced to give up the Rolex Paris Masters. The Italian was due to face Frenchman Arthur Fils (18; 315e world) in the 1st round. Berrettini was replaced in the final draw by a lucky-loser, his compatriot Fabio Fognini, whom Fils had led 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 during qualifying. Matteo Berrettini only has the Davis Cup in mind with the quarter-finals that Italy will play in Malaga, from November 23, against the United States.
