Andy Roddick Might Miss Rolland Garros

Andy Roddick's future in the tennis circuit is in doubt, after he once again got injured in Germany, during the World Team Cup competition. Ever since he has been changing coaches, the American - former number one in the ATP race, before Federer's supremacy - did not manage to keep pace with his opponents, falling more and more often to injuries.

After a 2-2 score in the first set against Nicolas Massu of Chile, Andy had to step out of the tennis court, being in serious pain after a left-foot injury. And it couldn't have been more serious for Roddick, who was preparing for the French Open, next week. Even if the doctors have not given him a clear verdict, he will certainly be affected at Rolland Garros, even if he can start the tournament. If you take under consideration the fact that clay is not his best surface, Andy might as well let this one go, and focus on his full recovery.

"I just hope I wake up tomorrow and it resembles an ankle and not a balloon. It's just annoying. It's disappointing. I feel like every time there's progress being made something happens and there's a little bit of a setback. I've been hitting the ball great in practice since I've been over here and I was really excited. I felt like I started serving well again. I'm just a little unlucky right now", said Roddick.

The American could join other players that will not attend to this year's French Grand Slam tournament. Argentine Guillermo Coria is certainly one of them, since he announced his absence due to a back injury. It may well be the situation of Australian Lleyton Hewitt, who is still in doubt for France.

And, if you add to those the absence of Venus Williams, one of the top players in the WTA, you may say that the Federer - Nadal clash could be the only thing that will save the Rolland Garros tournament. That and, maybe, a future win by Amelie Mauresmo - which is not very likely to happen, considering her latest form in the WTA race.
