James Blake will be spending the next month, or two rehabbing a injured right knee. In a statement Blake said, ""The good news is that I will not need surgery," Blake said in a statement. "However, the treatment will require me to take a six to eight week break. I look forward to a successful rehabilitation period and retuning to competition in the near future."
The American is currently ranked #53 in the world. With having to miss the next couple of months his ranking may dip to as low as #80 by the time the French Open rolls around. Clay never has been a strong surface for Blake, so even if he does come back in time for Roland Garros, he won't be much of a factor and has a high probability of mirroring his 1st round exit of last year.
