Overview
- The Monte-Carlo Masters said in an official statement that Taylor Fritz pulled out of the event due to injury.
- Fritz has been managing knee tendonitis since December, and his recent form dipped with early exits at Indian Wells and a fourth‑round loss to Jiri Lehecka in Miami.
- Before Miami, he said he might skip the clay season if his knee did not improve, leaving his next moves on clay uncertain.
- Skipping Monte‑Carlo costs him no ranking points because he had none to defend at last year’s event, though he has said he hates falling behind in the points race.
- He remains entered for the Munich Open starting April 13, and any decision to rest longer would trade short‑term clay results for a better chance to be fully fit for grass, historically his stronger stretch.
