Paire, seeded # 17 at the US Open, was scheduled to make his debut against Poland's Kamil Majchrzak on Tuesday and had undergone several tests since arriving in the US on August 18, and so far all had been negative. Paire had participated in the Cincinnati tournament, where he was released in the first round because he was in poor health. Two players, Guido Pella and Hugo Dellien, had been quarantined last week during the tournament for contact with a member of their staff who tested positive. The control they were subjected to then had a negative result.
According to L'Equipe reports, Paire's positive test had consequences for four other French players, who for now have been confined to their hotel rooms until further notice: Richard Gasquet, Greoire Barrere, Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Adrian Mannarino
