The number 25 in the world rankings was 4: 6 and 0: 2 behind in his first round match against Casper Ruud from Norway when he officially finished the match due to exhaustion.
The 31-year-old then reported that he was twice positive in the Hanseatic city, but tested negative on Tuesday. He felt tired in his match and left the pitch prematurely. Officially, the task was justified with stomach pain.
Paire had tested positive before the US Open in New York and was then removed from the tournament. A few days after the positive result, a negative one followed in quarantine. It is still unclear whether he will take part in the French Open that begins on Sunday in Paris.
