Another day, another Frenchman departs for the season. Jeremy Chardy ended his 2010 season after contracting a virus.

The 49th-ranked Frenchman has been plagued by headaches and stomach problems in recent days prompting him to end his season. Chardy was expected to receive a wild card into next week's BNP Paribas Masters in Paris, but joins Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in pulling the plug on his season.

"I will need to have six weeks of complete rest," Tsonga said. "I could have played by taking loads of anti-inflammatories, but the risk is getting injured for six months. It's the hardest moment of my career, along with pulling out of the Olympic Games [in] 2008."

His absence from the Davis Cup final spoils the prospect of a 2008 Australian Open final rematch between Novak Djokovic and Tsonga.
