The Adria Tour final has been cancelled after Grigor Dimitrov confirmed he had tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday.
The 29-year-old Bulgarian had been competing in the exhibition tournament in Croatia this week until he withdrew with illness.
He returned home to Monaco after feeling unwell during his defeat to Borna Coric on Saturday, and has since returned a positive test.
The final of the event, which would have featured world number one Novak Djokovic, was cancelled shortly after as a result.
Dimitrov confirmed the positive test on Instagram, saying: "I want to reach out and let my fans and friends know that I tested positive back in Monaco for Covid-19.
