(Reuters) - Kevin Anderson has pulled out of all clay tournaments this season, including next month's French Open, to give himself time to recover from an elbow injury, the South African said on Tuesday. "I will unfortunately be missing the clay season this year," Anderson said in a statement on Twitter. "After discussing with my doctors and team, we thought the best decision is to rest and rehab my elbow injury for a few more weeks. "I will keep working hard each day to get healthy again in time for (the) grass (season).
