Jan-Lennard Struff does without a start due to injury. "After I had to give up in Miami for the first time in my life for an injury, I was still hoping to return to Roland Garros," wrote the 32 -year -old Warsteiner on Instagram on Wednesday evening.

Struff had broken the toe at the Masters 1000 tournament in Miami at the end of March and has had to pause since then. In the world rankings, the previous German number two has now slipped to number 99.
