Roger Federer has pulled out of the French Open because of a back injury. Federer confirmed the news that he would miss his first major since the 1999 US Open on his Facebook page.
Just one of
Federer's 17 Grand Slam titles came at Roland Garros, in 2009. He has been
troubled by injuries and sickness this year and has played in just four
tournaments.
He said “I regret to announce that I have made the decision not to play
in this year's French Open. I have been making steady progress with my overall
fitness, but I am still not 100% and feel I might be taking an unnecessary risk
by playing in this event before I am really ready. This decision was not easy
to make, but I took it to ensure I could play the remainder of the season and
help to extend the rest of my career. I remain as motivated and excited as ever
and my plan is to achieve the highest level of fitness before returning to the
ATP World Tour for the upcoming grass court season. I am sorry for my fans in
Paris but I very much look forward to returning to Roland Garros in 2017”
