For the first time since July 2008, Gilles Simon finds himself outside the top 20 on the ATP rankings and will feel under pressure in the next few months given his lack of matchplay after returning from his troublesome knee injury as well as the fact that he has quite a few points to defend at Miami and Wimbledon.

His better results of '09, though, did come later year (events such as Cincy, Bangkok, Lyon, Valencia etc), so if he can play his way into some form all may not be lost for the seemingly forgotten Frenchman.

From AFP:
Simon has a tendon which is not regenerating, and after a three month lay-off has been practising for just 20 days.
He has been told by the doctor that it is fine to play unless he feels pain in the knee again, and then he should stop immediately.
Simon: "It is difficult to know what will happen to it. But I must try to play."

Gilles Simon has pulled out of next week's event in Rotterdam once again due to that right knee injury that he sustained at last year's US Open.

After looking good at an exhibition event in Adelaide before Melbourne, the Frenchman then withdrew from the first Slam of the year and continues to be sidelined by the injury.

Eurosport reported that the specifics of his problems are a patellar tendon crack, and that Gilles plans to return to action on Feb 15 at his home event in Marseille. His coach, Thierry Tulsane, said he has been slowing returning to training and has been getting progressively better.

Adding to freddiek's post:

French world number 15 Gilles Simon pulled out of the Australian Open on Saturday with a knee injury that has hampered him since Roland Garros last year.

Simon, 24, travelled to Melbourne but after an exhibition match in Adelaide decided he was not fit enough to play.

"I'm not so disappointed because I knew it would be difficult to play," he said.

"I'm simply not ready. Playing would do more harm than good."

It may pay to take care with Simon at the Open.

He lost an exhibition against Bernard Tomic in Adelaide last night
0-6 7-6 6-10 (no big deal) but his comments after the match are significant.

Simon said he had struggled throughout the match because of his knee injury.

Simon: "My goal is to give a little bit more every day. My second set was a good one so I hope I will be able to do that for three sets or four sets if I need to."

The Frenchman said he still held hopes of a good performance at the Australian Open in Melbourne, but this might involve deviating from his usual style of play.

"One of my strengths is to cover the court very well. I know I can play in a different way if I need to."

Gilles Simon competed in an exhibition against Radek Stepanek earlier tonight in Adelaide for the World Tennis Challenge, he lost 7-6 6-0 but was highly competitive in an entertaining match of contrasting styles and seemed to have no ill effects from his knee woes from last season.

Speaking after the match out of court to the crowd, Simon said; "Radek is a very good player, I played good first set but then maybe a little tired in second (set). But my knee felt good, you know, I could move well and I'm looking for a good performance at the Australian Open".
