Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has withdrawn form Queen's Club, putting his Wimbledon hopes in serious doubt.
The 12th-ranked Tsonga has been forced out of next week's Aegon Championships at Queen’s Club, because of the adductor injury that ended his Roland Garros run.

Tsonga retired while 5-2 up against Ernests Gulbis in the third round of the French Open, and has been unable to recover in time for Queens.
In a statement announcing his withdrawal, Tsonga did not say when he will return.
A two-time Wimbledon semifinalist, Tsonga owns Wimbledon wins over former champions Roger Federer and Lleyton Hewitt.
“I am very disappointed that this injury means that I will not be able to play in the Aegon Championships at The Queen’s Club,” said Tsonga. “It is one of my favorite tournaments, home of some very happy moments for me on the court — reaching the Top 100 for the first time and playing in the final — and I was looking forward to coming back. I hope to return in the future.”
Defending champion Andy Murray will be aiming for a record fifth title when Queen's Club gets underway on Monday. He will be challenged Stan Wawrinka, Milos Raonic, working with new coaching consultant John McEnroe, Richard Gasquet. Nick Kyrgios, 2014 US Open champion Marin Cilic, and Grigor Dimitrov, who won the 2014 Queen’s Club title.
