Andy Roddick and 2003 French Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero withdrew from the year's second Grand Slam tournament Thursday night after failing to recover from right shoulder injuries.
Both spent time at No. 1 in the rankings in 2003, when Roddick beat Ferrero in the U.S. Open final -- the last time an American man won a major singles title
The 11th-ranked Roddick pulled out of the Italian Open doubles final last weekend and the singles event at this week's Open de Nice to give himself a chance of recovering in time for Roland Garros.
The French Open draw is Friday, and play starts Sunday.
Roddick is mired in a four-match losing streak in singles dating to mid-March.
