World No. 7 Andy Roddick has withdrawn from the Rome Masters, citing personal reasons.

Although the tournament - which begins on 25 April - is mandatory for top-ranked players, Roddick will not be penalised as he is allowed one free exemption per year.

He is expected to make his return at the Madrid Masters at the beginning of May, one of the final warm-up tournaments before the French Open.

Roddick has enjoyed a successful year to date, winning the Sony Ericsson Open and Brisbane International.
