France loses injured Monfils

PARIS — Gael Monfils has withdrawn from France’s Davis Cup quarter-final against Britain next month because of injuries to his left knee and Achilles tendon.

The French tennis federation said Wednesday that Pierre-Hugues Herbert was also ruled out of the clay-court series in Rouen from April 7-9 because of a right thigh injury. France captain Yannick Noah called up Julien Benneteau and Jeremy Chardy to replace them in his squad.

France will also be without Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Richard Gasquet.
