Argentinean may not recover from hip injury in time for French Open

Juan Martin Del Potro has left his place in the French Open in serious doubt after tearing a hip muscle. The former US Open champion was forced to pull out of the Madrid Masters last week and began rehabilitation after flying home to Argentina for treatment. But this latest injury comes during a comeback season for the 22-year-old who missed most of last year following wrist surgery. And it is now undecided whether he will recover in time for the competition beginning on May 22. Del Potro said on his Twitter account: "The results of my tests showed a tear in the hip. I have already started rehabilitation and I will do all I can to be in Paris."
