Igor withdraws from doubles match in Barcelona

Igor and Nikolay didn't play their 1st round doubles match yesterday and were replaced by Djokovic/Tursunov. Apparently Igor withdrew due to his knee... Let's hope this isn't very serious and won't take him away from courts very long. Get well soon Igor!
