Tennis: France No 1 Fils pulls out of Wimbledon
At Roland Garros last month, the 21-year-old was forced to pull out before a third-round clash with Russia's Andrey Rublev because of a lower back stress fracture.
A recurring back problem has forced French No 1 Arthur Fils to withdraw from Wimbledon, the Tennis star announced on Saturday; the same injury that forced him out of the French Open.
At Roland Garros last month, the 21-year-old was forced to pull out before a third-round clash with Russia's Andrey Rublev because of a lower back stress fracture.
He had required treatment during his five-set second-round win over Jaume Munar for the problem on the clay in Paris.
Fils, ranked 15th in the world, progressed to the last 16 at Wimbledon last year. The third Grand Slam of the season gets underway on 30 June.
