Andy Roddick heads to Paris under-done after withdrawing with a stomach virus from the Madrid Masters before his opening second-round match with Spain's Feliciano Lopez.
"This is disappointing. I've worked hard after Miami, spending three weeks on clay in the States with my fitness trainer and coach," said the fifth seed, who was also the subject of pap snaps in Hawaii as he accompanied his bikini model wife on the set of a film she was shooting with Jennifer Aniston.
"We'll have to see what I can do to get a match or two," said the player who is due for one exhibition match next week in Paris prior to the May 23 start of the French Open.
Roddick said he got hit hard by the virus upon arrival in Spain. "I was up about 24 hours between Sunday and Monday night with all the symptoms," said the winner of the Miami Masters in early April.
"I played doubles but couldn't focus on the ball. it was the same this morning after I warmed up. I don't want to go into a tennis match feeling like that.
"I would have taken this virus any time over the past five weeks, but unfortunately I have it now," he said. "I'll have to see what I can do later for some matches.
The American said that his French Open campaign is not yet lost. "I went to Paris last year with only two match wins (from three played in Madrid). I still had my best Roland Garros ever (fourth-round loss to Gael Monfils)."
