Kim Clijsters has pulled out of the French Open because of a foot injury, while Nikolay Davydenko has also been ruled out by a wrist complaint.

Clijsters tore a ligament on the bottom of her foot during Belgium's Fed Cup match against Estonia in April.

The news will come as a bitterly disappointing blow for the world No. 10, who has two WTA titles to her name this year.

World No. 6 Davydenko's withdrawal is another high-profile loss in the men's field, which is already missing Juan Martin Del Potro.

Davydenko has not played since pulling out of the BNP Paribas Open at the second-round stage in early March.

The French Open begins on May 23rd at Roland Garros.
