Undoubtedly, the French Open is one of the most unique Grand Slam tournaments in the world and is not far away from us. In the past, this tournament gave us many stars, and some players made it their fortress, like Rafael Nadal. Remarkably, the 35-year-old Spaniard won this tournament 13 times and is all set to go for his 14th. However, there was an injury concern for him as he aggravated his previous foot injury at the recently concluded Italian Open. Along with Nadal, there are also a few other players who will likely miss the French Open 2022 due to injuries. 

Who will miss this year’s Roland Garros?

Despite the foot injury, Nadal will play through the pain. The 21-time Grand Slam will look for his 22nd Major at this tournament. Meanwhile, 20-time Grand Slam winner and the winner of the 2009 French Open title, Roger Federer is still recovering from knee surgery. As a result, he will miss the French Open this season. 

World no.10 and last year’s Wimbledon finalist, Matteo Berrettini has also withdrawn from the French Open. Earlier in March, he announced that he had minor surgery on his right hand, hoping to return to the French Open. Unfortunately, he will miss this year’s Roland Garros, as he’s eying a grass court return. Another Frenchman, Gael Monfils, also announced his withdrawal from the French Open due to a foot injury, which has been bothering him for the last few weeks.

On the women’s side, last year’s champion Barbora Krejcikova will probably miss the tournament this year; suffering an elbow injury. In the meantime, the runner-up, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, has earlier announced her withdrawal from French Open, due to a series of injuries. Moreover, she will miss the entire 2022 season and hoping to make a strong comeback in the next year.

Recently, Ukrainian tennis star Elina Svitolina announced her pregnancy, which means she will miss tennis, possibly for a long time.
