Shapovalov retires from Paris Masters match while leading

Canada’s Denis Shapovalov retired during his first-round match at the Paris Masters.

He was leading when he stopped playing.

The match ended with Shapovalov ahead, rather than after a completed contest.

The available details do not say why he retired or give the score.

Karen Khachanov was Shapovalov’s opponent, and an ATP clip showed Khachanov hitting a lob against him.

The retirement prevented the match from continuing, but the available information does not explain its effect on the tournament draw.

No further details about Shapovalov’s condition or next match are provided.
