Martin Forced to Withdraw

Back to list >

Todd Martin has been forced to withdraw from the 2003 Stella Artois Championships with a chest injury.

Martin, a Stella Artois winner in 1994, suffered a grade two tear to his pectoralis minor on Sunday.
The American played on Monday, defeating Ricardo Mello in straight sets in the first round, but the injury failed to improve in time for him to take on No. 5 seed Sjeng Schalken on Tuesday.

Martin could be out of action for between two and four weeks, but still hopes to be fit in time to compete at the Wimbledon Championships.
Schalken receives a walkover into the third round, where he will meet either Taylor Dent or Cecil Mamiit.

As a result, the first match on Centre Court on Tuesday will be Michel Kratochvil vs. Sebastien Grosjean (previously second on Court 1). The match between Max Mirnyi and Cyril Saulnier will now be the second match on Court 1.
