PARIS (AP) -- Martina Navratilova will play at the French Open, her
first Grand Slam singles action in a decade.

But Monica Seles, who hoped to return at Roland Garros after a
year's injury absence, pulled out, tournament spokesman Christophe
Proust said Thursday.

Seles, meanwhile, also asked for and was given a wild card but then
decided she wasn't fit, Proust said.

Seles' agent did not immediately return a call Thursday.

The nine-time major champion is recovering from a lingering left
foot injury and hasn't played a competitive match since losing in
the first round at the 2003 French Open.

In an interview in February, Seles said she's thought about
retiring.

``It does go through my mind, because my brain wants to be out
there, playing or practicing, but my body says, 'Wait! Hold on!' I
have to listen to my body,'' Seles said then. ``I'm not 18 years old
anymore. Not that 30 is old, but I started so young, and my body has
taken a lot of pounding.''

The French Open starts May 24. On Wednesday, organizers announced
second-ranked Kim Clijsters, runner-up in 2001 and 2003, pulled out
of the tournament with a left wrist injury.

Not surprising, given that Monica said she had to take things
slowly. I can only hope that she - and Iroda Tulyaganova - will be
fit in time for Wimbledon.
