Former world No. 1 player Lindsay Davenport has pulled out of the French Open because of personal reasons, organizers said on Tuesday.
Davenport, 31, who returned to the court last September after an 11-month absence to have a baby, is 26th in the WTA rankings. She was a French Open semifinalist in 1998.
Two other American women, Meilen Tu and Meghann Shaughnessy, have pulled out of the clay-court Grand Slam tournament, which starts Sunday, because of injuries.
Sixth-ranked Andy Roddick, who pulled out of the French Open on Monday because of a shoulder injury, will be replaced in the men's draw by Argentine Guillermo Coria, who was a finalist in Paris in 2004.
