Paris: World number nine Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has pulled out of next week`s Rotterdam event because of a stomach muscle injury.
"The problem started in the fourth round of (last month`s) Australian Open against Nicolas Almagro," the Frenchman told his website (www.jowiltsonga.fr) on Friday.
"It bothered me in the quarter-final against Novak Djokovic and in the semi-final against (eventual winner) Roger Federer. I hope I`ll be able to go back to training next week without serving." Bureau Report
