2002 semifinalist Malisse, Austrian Melzer withdraw from Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON, England -- Xavier Malisse and Jurgen Melzer are the latest players to pull out of Wimbledon, which begins June 25.
Malisse, who reached the semifinals in 2002, has a wrist injury that forced him to withdraw from the French Open last month. The Belgian was replaced in the men's singles draw by Lu Yen-hsun of Taiwan.
Melzer withdrew for an unspecified reason. The Austrian was replaced by Michael Berrer of Germany.
Paradorn Srichaphan, 2004 French Open champion Anastasia Myskina, Jose Acasuso, Jie Zheng and Romina Oprandi had already pulled out.
