PARIS - The French Tennis Federation says Kim Clijsters has pulled out of the French Open because of a foot injury that has failed to heal, and Nikolay Davydenko has been ruled out by a wrist injury.
Clijsters, the U.S. Open champion and world No. 10, joins Urszula Radwanska, Sania Mirza, Anna-Lena Groenefeld and Sabine Lisicki on the list of absentees. She will be replaced by Stephanie Dubois of Canada, the federation said Friday.
Well this was very much expected.
I'm sad she won't be there because she would have provided some much needed competition, but it's better that she allows her foot to heal properly for Wimbledon.
Guess I'm rooting for Justine and Roger again.
