French tennis player Benoit Paire has reportedly tested positive for coronavirus. He will hence have to pull out of the US Open which is scheduled to start on Monday.

Paire, seeded 17th for the Grand Slam, arrived in New York last week to play the Western and Southern Open, a tune-up for the US Open. Paire appeared unwell during his opening round match and asked for medical help before retiring midway through it. According to French sports daily L'Equipe, he eventually tested positive for Covid-19.
