Stan Wawrinka has withdrawn from Madrid, joined by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga who will also not play Rome.
Wawrinka, who recently reunited with coach Magnus Norman, had double knee surgery in 2017 and has been on another break since returning at the beginning of the season. But the former French Open champion has resumed training and says he still plans to play during the clay-court season.
Tsonga, who underwent a small procedure on his knee just a few weeks ago, now looks doubtful for the French Open but says that he is working towards a return.
