French number three has failed to recover from a wrist injury

World number 14 Gael Monfils has been forced to withdraw from Wimbledon because of a wrist injury. The 22-year-old Frenchman, knocked out of the French Open quarter-finals by eventual winner Roger Federer, has not featured at the All England Club since 2007 because of health problems. He was forced to withdraw from the Wimbledon warm-up event at Queen's club after falling and injuring his wrist in a second-round win over Kazakhstan's Andrey Golubev and has failed to recover in time to appear at SW19. Monfils will therefore be replaced by a lucky loser from qualifying, while he looks to rest up and get back to action again soon.
