WIMBLEDON, England (AP) -- French Open champion Gaston Gaudio pulled out of Wim
bledon on Saturday because of a foot injury.
Gaudio has played at Wimbledon five times, but has never made it past the secon
d round.
Wimbledon referee Alan Mills said Gaudio announced his withdrawal, but didn't s
pecify the nature of the foot injury.
Justine Henin-Hardenne, the top-ranked female player, and No. 2 Kim Clijsters h
ad already pulled out. Henin-Hardenne has a viral illness, while Clijsters has
a wrist injury.
Last Sunday at Roland Garros, the unseeded Gaudio came back from two sets down
to beat third-seeded Guillermo Coria 0-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1, 8-6 in the first all-A
rgentine final at a Grand Slam. No Argentine had won the French Open since Guil
lermo Vilas in 1977.
Wimbledon begins June 21.
