World No. 27 Felix Auger-Aliassime has withdrawn from the upcoming Rome Masters tournament due to a back injury.
The Canadian`s spot in the main draw will be taken by lucky loser Ugo Dellien of Bolivia. Dellien is scheduled to compete against Brazil`s Thiago Seyboth Wild in the second round.
This withdrawal comes at a difficult time for Auger-Aliassime, who is currently on a five-match losing streak, marking the longest such run of his professional career.
