Nalbandian pulls out of Paris Masters

PARIS, Oct 28 (Reuters) Argentine David Nalbandian has pulled out of next week's Paris Masters with gastroenteritis, organisers said today.

The draw has been re-shuffled as third-seeded Nalbandian pulled out before the qualifying rounds. Former world number one Marat Safin will now play Frenchman Nicolas Mahut instead of Arnaud Clement.

Frenchman Clement, who plays compatriot Richard Gasquet in Lyon on Saturday, will now play Chile's Nicolas Massu in Bercy next week.
