Stan Wawrinka has withdrawn from Roland Garros as he continues to recover from a left foot injury that required a procedure in March, and former World No. 1 Andy Murray has pulled out of qualifying.

Wawrinka, the former World No. 3, won the Roland Garros title in 2015, and he finished runner-up on the Parisian terre battue in 2017. Wawrinka owns a 44-15 record at the clay-court Grand Slam.

The Swiss star had a streak of 16 consecutive appearances at Roland Garros dating back to his major debut at the tournament in 2005. Last year, he lost a five-setter in the third round against home favourite Hugo Gaston.

Wawrinka last competed in Doha in March. The 36-year-old is currently the No. 24 player in the FedEx ATP Rankings.

Murray, the 2016 Roland Garros finalist, will now focus on the grass-court season. The Scot played doubles with Liam Broady at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, where he also trained with the likes of Novak Djokovic. That was his only clay-court action this year.
