Andy Roddick's season hit another low on as the 2003 champion withdrew with illness from the Toronto Masters yesterday.
The one-time number one, now ranked 11th, foreshadowed the news a week ago as he lost in the third round in Washington, saying he was feeling unwell.
His summer started poorly with an early Wimbledon loss and a semi-final defeat in Atlanta at the hands of childhood friend Mardy Fish.
No further news of Roddick's condition has since emerged, with his pullout rating a terse one-line sentence in a tournament release.
The American was replaced in the draw by Paul-Henri Mathieu, who will play in the second round against Taiwan's Lu Yen-Hsun.
