HIGHLIGHTS

- Tsitsipas has been carrying the injury since retiring from the second round of the Paris Masters
- The withdrawal follows that of Matteo Berrettini on Tuesday
World No.4 Stefanos Tsitsipas has withdrawn from the ATP Finals with an elbow injury with British World No.12 taking his place, organisers said on Wednesday. Tsitsipas’s withdrawal comes after Matteo Berrettini left the tournament with an abdominal injury with Jannick Sinner taking his place.
Tsitsipas, who won the event in 2019, lost 6-4, 6-4 to Russian Andrey Rublev in his Green Group match on Monday and was due to face Casper Ruud in his next encounter.
However, the ATP said that the Greek world number four had suffered a right elbow injury and would play no further part in the tournament in Turin.
British world number 12 Cameron Norrie will replace Tsitsipas, who has been carrying the injury since retiring from the second round of the Paris Masters earlier this month.
Earlier, 2018 champion Alexander Zverev won when local favorite Berrettini of Italy retired early in the second set with an apparent abdominal injury.
Zverev won the first set 7-6 (7) and was leading 1-0 in the second when Berrettini dropped his racket to the ground, covered his face and bent over in apparent pain.
