Gasquet and Monfils are also injured but they'l try to play as long as possible in Paris. Simon once said that it was almost "normal" to play with some kind of pain or injury for a tennis player. Some players talk about it some others not.

Well, some do get asked about it more than others, too. But I think it's normal for most serious athletes to play with some pain. It's about knowing when/if you'll do more damage if you fight through.
