Jo-Wilfried Tsonga faces a race for fitness if he's to front up for Wimbledon after being diagnosed with a hip injury following his French Open fourth-round pullout against Mikhail Youzhny.
The French number one had an MRI, which resulted in doctors telling him to rest for at least ten days.
That would leave the world No. 10 with just a few days before the June 21 start of Wimbledon. “I could hardly put my foot down on the court from the very first game, I knew it was going to be difficult. Mikhail did a winning forehand, I blocked and I felt a sharp pain,” said the Frenchman.
“Immediately after I knew that it was the same thing that I had felt in the previous match. It hurt even more.”
Tsonga , the 2008 Australian Open finalist, has already been through knee surgery two years ago and has dealt with back and abdominal muscle trouble. "I hired a physiotherapist this year to be with me all the time, even when I'm not playing in tournaments. I also have another chiropractor looking at me. I really do my best, and I take all the necessary precautions.”
