No reasons given but officially confirmed. "Confirmation of Samsonov’s withdrawal means his position in the men’s singles draw will result in reallocation to the highest-ranked individual not yet qualified. Great Britain’s Paul Drinkhall is next in line and following the confirmation from his National Olympic Committee (NOC), he is now Tokyo bound."

"The legend of the Belarusian and world table tennis Vladimir Samsonov has officially announced the end of his professional career. He turned 45 this year, and nevertheless he is still in the elite of world table tennis (29th racket of the world ranking). Unfortunately, injury prevented him from performing at his seventh Olympics in Tokyo." (Google Translate)
