Indian ace tennis star, Somdev Devvarman on Monday has been dragged out of the Aircel Chennai Open because of a chronic shoulder injury. “With great disappointment, I have to inform the fans and organizers of the Aircel Chennai Open 2012 that due to a recurring shoulder injury I will not be able to partake in this year’s event,” Somdev said.
“Keeping the Australian Open in mind, my doctors have counsel me to take this decision. I wish the tournament all the success and look forward to be back next year — fitter and stronger.” According to a release by the organizers, Edouard Roger-Vasselin from France will put back Somdev in the singles field and will play against countryman Prodon.
Roger-Vasselin finds a place in the main draw as a lucky loser in the qualifiers where he lost to Japanese Go Soeda 4-6, 6-7(5).
In the singles draw, Somdev was planned to play against Frenchman Eric Prodon, while in the doubles competition, he and his partner Treat Conrad Huey were pitted alongside the third-seeded pair of India’s leading doubles player Leander Paes and Janko Tipsarevic, the World No. 9 and top seeded singles player in Aircel Chennai Open.
