Tennis: Monfils Misses Paris Masyers 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 U.S. Open, Monfils sealed qualification for his first World Tour Finals Thursday when rival Dominic Thiem was defeated at the Vienna tournament.
