The 30th seed, who earlier this month reached the semi-finals at the French Open where he lost to Roger Federer, will be replaced by Ilia Bozoljac of Serbia.

Monfils was due to play Australian Chris Guccione on Monday and would have been a likely third-round opponent for five-times champion Federer.
