Paris, Oct 31: Roger Federer withdrew from the Paris Masters because of fatigue Monday, a day after he won the Swiss Indoors for his 11th title of the year.
"Roger phoned this morning to say he is suffering from a general fatigue," tournament co-director Alain Riou said. "He's scared of pushing too hard, so he'd rather not take the risk."
The top-ranked Swiss had been hoping to make his first appearance at the Paris Masters since 2003, when he lost in the quarterfinals to Tim Henman.
Federer won his fourth consecutive title Sunday and the 44th of his career.
Rafael Nadal, Andy Roddick and David Nalbandian also have withdrawn from the Paris tournament.
