Jo-Wilfried Tsonga withdraws from Rogers Cup 2013

Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga announced that he won’t be participating at the Montreal Masters 2013 or Rogers Cup tennis tournament which begins next week due to a knee injury.

The eighth-ranked player has not played on tour since June 26 where he had to pull out of his second round match at the Wimbledon Championships. He said that he will need more time to rehabilitate his left knee and aims to participate at the US Open 2013 tournament in late August.

The Rogers Cup 2013 men’s event will begin on August 5 in Montreal while the women’s tournament will also begin on the same date but in Toronto.
