How about a thread for all our absent friends, so we don't forget about them?

Mario Ancic - has there ever been an unluckier player - whether its back injuries, jet-ski accidents, or glandular fever, Mario always seems to cop it all. Surely he won't have to miss the US Open after sitting out Roland Garros and Wimbledon?

Andy Murray - another one who missed Roland Garros and Wimbledon. His comeback has been delayed more times than my local train service - I'm hoping he's managed to do plenty of training and that he'll be sharp for US Open - he's defending a lot of points at Toronto...

Joachim Johansson - came back from injury at start of the year, only to get injured again. Any news on when the giant Swede will be back in action?

Schrichaphan - is he injured - not heard about him for ages - a shame, as this flashy player is always good to watch...

Those three seem to be the obvious ones, but who else are we missing, from both ATP and WTA?

Anastasia myskina- Out since RG. Came back too soon and apparently reinjured herself :(

Vera Zvonareva- Hasnt played since charleston due to wrist surgery. Will probably be out for the rest of the year :unsure:
