David Nalbandian’s spokesman Bernardo Ballero delivered the news that David has decided to pull out of Nice and Roland Garros, making this the third year in a row that he will miss the clay-court Slam.
"Because of the fact that he didn't get match practice on clay, Nalbandian decided not to play Nice and Roland Garros and to continue his recovery in order to make his comeback on the Tour in the best possible way,” Ballero told Argentine news agency Telam.
"David had a fever that affected him for a week and delayed his training, and that led to him, taking the decision to withdraw from Nice and Roland Garros."
Being one of the Grand Slam tournaments, Roland Garros is played in the best-of-five format, which means that it requires a greater physical effort from the players – an issue that was also evaluated among Nalbandian's team.
Therefore, he will return to the Tour at the Queen's Club tournament in England, which starts on June 6.
Apparently with a wildcard, since David's name is not on the Queen's Club entry list, a website of Nalbandian’s fans reported.
