Former world number seven Gael Monfils withdraws from this year's Wimbledon Championships because of personal reasons.

Former world number seven Gael Monfils has pulled out of this year's Wimbledon Championships due to personal reasons.

The 26-year-old Frenchman confirmed his withdrawal after a third-round victory over qualifier Jan Hernych at the Gerry Weber Open in Germany.

Monfils, who recently reached the third round of the French Open, missed a large part of last season with a knee injury.

He was crowned boys' singles champion at SW19 in 2004 but has failed to get past the third round of the senior tournament.
