Monfils will be replaced by a lucky loser from qualifying

Gael Monfils has been forced to withdraw from Wimbledon with a wrist injury sustained at Queen's Club.

The Frenchman pulled out of the Aegon Championships after his second-round victory over Andrey Golubev.

Monfils, seeded number 14 for the All England Club, will be replaced in the men's singles draw by a lucky loser from qualifying.

Tommy Haas, who beat Novak Djokovic in the Halle grasscourt event on Sunday, is granted a seeding at number 24.
