India's number one tennis player Sania Mirza will not be playing at next week's French Open, her father Imran Mirza said on Monday.
The 21-year-old Sania is yet to fully recover from a wrist surgery conducted in April and is now expected to make a comeback at the $200,000 DFS Classic in Birmingham next month.
"Hopefully, she will start with Birmingham on 9th June," Imran Mirza told the Indian Tennis Blog.
Last year at Roland Garros, Sania had won a match for the first time in three tries. She then lost in the second round to eventual finalist Ana Ivanovic.
Despite her inactivity in recent weeks, Sania managed to hold on to her ranking and moved one place up to 32 on Monday, thanks to world number one Justine Henin's sudden retirement from professional tennis.
"I would say she is about 80 percent recovered," Imran Mirza had told the blog about Sania's recovery on Wednesday.
"The cast came off on the 5th but there is still a little pain in the wrist and she is still not able to bend it completely forwards and backwards due to the pain."
