Kournikova, Krajicek out of French Open

PARIS, May 22 (Reuters) -- Russia's Anna Kournikova and Richard Krajicek of the Netherlands have withdrawn from next week's French Open, tournament organizers said on Thursday.

Kournikova cited a leg injury, while Krajicek is still suffering from the elbow problem that has plagued his career since he won Wimbledon in 1996, a statement said.

They will be replaced in the draw by lucky losers.
