Britain's Andy Murry Unlikely to play Roland Garros

A lower back injury forced world no.2 Britain's Andy Murray from the second round of the ongoing Italian Open tennis at Rome yesterday.

His injury casts shadows and doubts on his fitness to play the Roland Garros or the French Open beginning later this month at Paris.

"I pulled out because there was a good chance I would be playing tomorrow if I got through. As it is, I'd be very surprised if I was playing in Paris," said Murray.

It may be recalled that Murray struggled with a lower back problem throughout the clay season last year, one match against Jarkko Nieminen during the French Open prompting former Wimbledon champion Virginia Wade to call him a "drama queen".
