Andy Roddick faces a race to be fit for the French Open after pulling out of next week's Madrid Open with a hamstring injury.

The former world No. 1 has also withdrawn from the Rome Masters later this month, prompting fears he could miss the clay-court grand slam.

Roddick is due to compete at the AEGON Championships the week after Roland Garros, where he is a four-time champion, and will be keen to regain full fitness in time for Wimbledon.

Roddick and fellow American Mardy Fish, who has also withdrawn from the Madrid event, will be replaced in the draw by Robin Haase and Olivier Rochus.

Defending champion Novak Djokovic returns to action in the Spanish capital next week after skipping this week's Serbia Open to mourn the death of his grandfather, while world No. 2 Rafael Nadal will be looking to extend win a third straight title in the Caja Magica after victories in Monte Carlo and Barcelona.
