According to information from the Paris Masters 2025 organizing committee, Dimitrov made this decision less than 24 hours after he and teammate Nicolas Mahut were eliminated in the men's doubles event.

Having to compete consecutively in both singles and doubles made it impossible for the Bulgarian tennis player to maintain his best physical condition.

Doctors advised him to rest to avoid the risk of further injury, especially as Dimitrov had had a busy season.

The second round match was supposed to be a much-anticipated contest between two players with consistent form on hard courts. However, with the withdrawal of “Little Federer”, Medvedev easily advanced to the third round without breaking a sweat.

The Russian tennis player is expected to take advantage of this break to prepare more thoroughly and wait for his opponent, one of two Italian tennis players Lorenzo Musetti or Lorenzo Sonego.
