French hope Richard Gasquet will miss his second straight major event as he skips the Monte Carlo Open with the right shoulder problem which kept him out of Miami.
The world No. 23 has been bothered with the trouble since beginning his 2009 ATP season in the zone with semifinal showings in Brisbane, Sydney and Dubai during a memorable January.
Gasquet had hoped to be fit but is unable to make the start in Monte Carlo, where Andy Roddick is the only member of the Top 10 not competing.
Gasquet was unable to play in Miami due to his shoulder worry and won only a single round last month at Indian Wells.
Gasquet, a last-four loser in 2005 to Rafael Nadal, is hoping to return to the courts in a week in Barcelona as he steps up his pace for the French Open.
