Del Potro could miss French Open with thigh injury

Published May 11, 2011

BUENOS AIRES (AP) Former U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro could miss the French Open because of a left thigh injury.

The 22-year-old del Potro has a muscle tear, but says he will do ``everything possible'' to play in Paris when the tournament starts May 22.

The injury appears to be a new problem for the 31st-ranked Argentine, who withdrew before a match against Rafael Nadal at the Madrid Open last week because of a hip injury.

Del Potro dropped to No. 481 in the rankings in January after to a long layoff following wrist surgery in 2010. Victories in Delray Beach and Estoril this season suggested he was regaining his form.

He won the 2009 U.S. Open.
