Siegemund was injured during her second round match against Barbora Krejcikova at the Nuremberg Cup and her Fed Cup captain Barbara Rittner told reporters she would not play at Roland Garros.

"She won't be able to play in Paris," said Rittner, who suggested the 29-year-old had suffered ligament damage.

Former U.S. Open men's champion Juan Martin Del Potro is also a doubt for the French Open due to injuries.
