Simon Out Of Australian Open

Saturday, January 16 2010

Melbourne, Australia - Frenchman Gilles Simon has withdrawn from the 2010 Australian Open today with an injury to his right knee. Simon hurt his knee at last year's French Open, where he lost in the third round to Romanian Victor Hanescu.

The world No. 15 was a quarter-finalist at the 2009 Australian Open. He was scheduled to play Frederico Gil of Portugal in his first round match. The 25-year old Simon was in the same quarter of the draw as world No. 1 Roger Federer, sixth seed Nicolay Davydenko, last year's Australian Open semi-finalist Fernando Verdasco, and the 22nd seed Lleyton Hewitt.

In the last two years, Gilles Simon finished inside the top 15 rankings, and has a career-high ranking of 6 in January last year. Simon was hoping to overcome his knee injury at the beginning of this year and is upset with the setback. The date of his return is currently unknown.
