Pella took to Instagram and said that due to contact with his personal trainer Juan Manuel Galvan - who tested positive within the environment, the tournament have taken the decision to withdraw them.

This is despite Pella in particular and his coach testing negative and feeling fine. Despite that, though another test is set to take place to see if the symptoms do develop.

“Unfortunately the positive is from my physical trainer, Juan Manuel Galván,” Pella explained on Instagram.

“Because of the close contact we had last week in Miami, and the contact that José Acasuso had, my coach on the plane and sharing the room, that’s why we are both fulfilling a mandatory isolation of two weeks."

“Both tests, José’s (Acasuso) and mine were negative, we are perfect, we feel nothing. My physical trainer is experiencing this disease asymptomatically, but unfortunately the tournament withdrew me."

“Now the procedure is going to be with regular tests, I have one in two days to see if it goes from negative to positive, to see if I have any symptoms. In all, communication is fluid with the doctors and also with the ATP. I wanted to tell you about this."

“It is unlucky that I got through the 1400 tests they did, but there is no other choice but to do everything possible to get through these two weeks quickly and see if we can get to the US Open.”
