Roddick Out of French Open

The 2008 clay-court season has been plagued by injuries, and this looks set to continue for the second Grand Slam of the year.
Today it was confirmed that Andy Roddick will not take part in the French Open after failing to recover from the injury that he picked up in Rome.
His brother John said:
“Andy is pulling out with an upper back shoulder injury, the same thing that he had in Rome. He’s pulling out of here and he’s also going to miss the French Open, too.”
“Andy had an MRI and there’s some inflammation so he pulled him from here and the French. I don’t think it’s going to be anything that’s terribly long and I would be surprised if he was not ready to go for Queens. But as for now he needs to take a good 10 days, 12 days, just rest.”
Joining Roddick on the sidelines will be India’s Sania Mirza and home hope Tatiana Golovin. Both players have been withdrawn from the entry list.
