MIAMI (Reuters) - Germany's Tommy Haas withdrew from the Sony Ericsson Open on Wednesday because of a sinus infection, organisers said.

The unseeded Haas had been scheduled to play countryman Nicolas Kiefer in Wednesday's main stadium match. He was replaced in the draw by lucky loser Guillermo Garcia Lopez of Spain.

Haas came down with the infection last week when he had to withdraw from his quarter-final match against world number one Roger Federer at the Pacific Life Open.
