Stefanos Tsitsipas withdraws from Paris Masters due to shoulder injury

Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas, currently ranked No. 34 in the world, has officially withdrawn from the Paris Masters 1000 tournament. He was scheduled to face American Learner Tien, ranked No. 19, in the first round of the event on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

The decision to pull out was prompted by an ongoing injury to his right shoulder. Tsitsipas had previously been forced to withdraw from the Basel tournament following his participation in the Almaty Open. According to reports, the athlete chose to forgo the final Masters tournament of the year to prevent further physical strain and allow for proper recovery.

This withdrawal concludes his participation in the current sequence of European indoor events. Tsitsipas had been looking to bounce back after a semifinal exit in Almaty, but the persistence of his shoulder issue has made it impossible to compete against Tien, to whom he had previously lost during the round of 16 in Geneva in May 2026.
