The 30th seed, who earlier this month reached the semi-finals at the French Open where he lost to Roger Federer [Images], 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.
