Celebrities absent from the French Open

class=”sc-29f61514-0 kHgAwW”>

Andy Murray (36) will not participate in the French Open. The list of prominent absentees for the French Open is getting longer.

Although Murray recently won a Challenger tournament on clay, he sees the chances of a good run at Wimbledon (July 3-16) better than on Paris clay. In addition to a clear defeat against Stan Wawrinka (38), he also withdrew early from the ATP tournaments in Rome, Madrid and Monte Carlo.

Matteo Berettini (27) and Marin Cilic (34) will also give up the French Open, which starts on Monday, in the short term. The Italian sustained an abdominal muscle injury at the beginning of April and is aiming for his return for the grass tournament in Stuttgart. The tournament comes too early for Marin Cilic after knee surgery in January.

At the top of the list of prominent absentees is of course the name of Rafael Nadal (36), who, after a long back and forth, had to decide not to participate. Nick Kyrgios (28) will also not serve in Paris. He sustained a foot injury.

Will Swiatek Compete?

With the women, the question is whether the current number 1 in the world will be fit in time for the French Open. Iga Swiatek (21) had to withdraw from the quarter-finals in Rome last week due to a thigh problem. After all, the Pole has already announced that she is traveling to Paris.

Simona Halep (31) is guaranteed not to be there. The former world number 1 has been suspended since October 2022 due to a doping procedure and now has to defend himself against a second procedure. And Emma Raducanu (20) is not there either. The former US Open champion has had surgery on both wrists and will be out for months.

Good from a Swiss perspective: Belinda Bencic (26) took a break in mid-April due to hip problems. She should be able to start the second Grand Slam tournament of the year rested and rested on Monday. (dti)
