Nalbandian to miss French, Wimbledon
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina -- David Nalbandian of Argentina will have surgery next week on his right hip and be sidelined for three to four months.
He will miss the French Open, Wimbledon and the Davis Cup quarterfinal against the Czech Republic in July.
Nalbandian was a Wimbledon finalist in 2002, and reached the French Open semifinals in 2004 and 2006.
He played in last year's Davis Cup final loss to Spain and was expected to team with Juan Martin Del Potro on Argentina's Davis Cup team. Nalbandian is ranked No. 19.
Nalbandian's spokesman, Bernardo Ballero, told Argentina's Fox Sports on Friday that the operation would take place Wednesday in Barcelona.
