Andy Murray has pulled out of the French Open because of a back injury.
The problem appeared while Murray was competing in the Rome Masters in the middle of May. He had to concede the match in the second round.
After that he had to call in medical specialists and it was agreed with them that he had better not compete in the French Open, which is taking place now (first week of June).
The French Open is a very important tournament and it's not good to miss it, but if Murray injures himself again he could seriously harm his chances of competing in Wimbledon later this month. It is said that winning Wimbledon is Andy Murray's greatest ambition after reaching the finals against Roger Federer last year.
Tim Henman, the former UK number 1, has said that Murray's decision to pull out of the French Open is a sensible one as Wimbledon is more important for his career.
