Australian Open doubles champions Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram have been withdrawn from this week's Paris Masters after Salisbury was in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, the men's ATP tennis body said on Monday.
Britain's Salisbury, who has not tested positive for COVID-19, has been placed in isolation and remains asymptomatic after his “credentialed” contact returned a positive test for the coronavirus on Sunday.

“The tournament physician and ATP medical team continue to monitor their conditions,” the ATP said in a statement. “The team Ram/Salisbury has been replaced in the draw,” it added.
Salisbury and Ram have secured a place at the season-ending ATP Tour Finals alongside US Open champions Mate Pavic and Bruno Soares, French Open winners Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Mies plus Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos.
