Isner has reportedly withdrawn from Monte Carlo.

@neilharmantimes is reporting that Richard Gasquet has also withdrawn.

Monfils, Gasquet are out too

[fubyFrery]

He should have stayed in Monte Carlo and rested this week but he felt that he needed to do some practice work in Florida. Who will represent the USA in the singles draw?

Young...

Arnaud Clement reports he's been given a WC.

Arnaud Clement reports he's been given a WC.

The French Davis Cup article mentioned his upcoming retirement, though it did not give a date. Could this be a last stand, or is there a small event near his home that we might expect an announcement?

Clarification of Clement's WC - it's into the qualie draw which was supposed to be done already...

My money would be on Nice. Pretty close to Aix-en-Provence, where he's from. Marseille is even closer, but I doubt he'll wait until next February.

My guess would be the French Open as they will probably give him a WC

Form what I understand, he is mainly retiring from singles but will continue to play doubles.
