Gael Monfils will miss from four to six weeks of play and could be in doubt for next month's Masters 1000 at Indian Wells after reaching the semi-finals in San Jose but withdrawing with a lingering wrist injury.
The French number 12 is also out of his nation's Davis Cup first round next month against Austria, coming three months after France were beaten in the Davis final by Serbia.
Monfils withdrew from the ATP San Jose indoor event after his quarter-final win due to problems with the wrist which he originally hurt at the Australian Open. He had been feeling pain all week.
Monfils lamented his plight on his Twitter feed as well as post-match, "I can’t hit a backhand, I tried but it was very soft. It hurts. It hurts.” The injury will give Monfils' coach Roger Rasheed another month at home in Australia as he works to set up a personal charity to aid in-need children in the country.
