Frenchman Gael Monfils withdrew from the ATP World Tour Finals with a rib injury on Wednesday meaning Novak Djokovic will play alternate David Goffin in his final group match. World no 6 Gael Monfils, a debutant at the tournament after an impressive year in which he reached the US Open semifinal, could not make the last four in London after losses to Milos Raonic and Dominic Thiem in his opening two matches. “Definitely I can’t play for tomorrow because I feel worse and worse with my ribs,” he told reporters. “I couldn’t practise.”Monfils sustained the injury in Stockholm in October and was told that it would be a six-week recovery period. Goffin finished the year ranked 11th.
