Eighth seed American Andy Rod**** has pulled out of the Toronto Masters because of illness, the ATP Tour said on Tuesday.
Following a lopsided loss to Frenchman Gilles Simon in the third round of the Washington Classic last week, Rod**** had said he felt lethargic and might need time to figure out what was wrong ahead of the U.S. Open.
A winner in Canada in 2003, Rod****'s place in the draw will be taken by lucky loser Paul-Henri Mathieu of France.
Chile's Fernando Gonzalez has also withdrawn due to a left calf injury. He will be replaced by Somdev Devvarman of India.
Rod****'s departure leaves Sam Querrey and Michael Russell as the only Americans in the main draw.
With the U.S. Open looming, Rod****'s illness is more bad news for American tennis which, for the first time since the ATP rankings began in 1973, has no players in the top 10 after Rod**** slipped to number 11 after his loss in Washington.
