No Roman Holiday for Roddick.
by bahamaderek on Apr.24, 2009, under Andy Roddick, Rome Masters
Andy Roddick, Gael Monfils, David Nalbandian and Mario Ancic have all withdrawn from this year’s Internazionali BNL d’Italia, but 40 out of the top 44 players will be playing.
Nalbandian became the latest player to pull out after suffering from a hip injury during his third round victory at Barcelona over Nicolas Almagro. Monfils has been suffering from Osgood Schlatter’s disease – a legacy of growing pains – in both knees and is unlikely to play much tennis before Roland Garros at the end of next month, while Ancic is still suffering from the effects of the glandular fever that struck him down last season.
Roddick meanwhile has recently married his fiancée Brooklyn Decker and will turn his mind back to tennis at Madrid in just over a week’s time.
