Don't think so. Touch and go. He's had three infiltrations over the last couple of weeks and says he's just so tired of being in constant pain. And miserable about it.
Warmed up at sort of 50% yesterday but hasn't served a ball for weeks.
That's a very good draw. Avoided pretty much all the dark horses and clay specialists, probably the best R4 draw, probably the best QF draw, and Nadal in the semis is irrelevant anyway (given the alternative is Djokovic it hardly makes much difference).
By the sounds of it Gasquet and Wawrinka would do well to get that far anyway. Golubev-Matosevic-Istomin-Verdasco-Fognini would be my bet, although who knows which Fognini will turn up in Paris. That section, and in-fact this entire quarter really is quite open what with the top players lack of consistency or confidence on this surface.
