PARIS (AP) — This year’s French Open will not be quite the same without Rafael Nadal.His energy. His lefty forehands and two-fisted backhands. His sliding across the red clay of Court Philippe Chatrier. His familiar limbs-spread, flat-on-his-back mixture of relief and celebration after winning the championship — whether the year was 2005 or 2019 or any of the many others that add up to a record 14 times in all.Nadal, a 36-year-old from Spain, announced at a news conference Thursday that the hip injury that has kept him out of action since January will force him to miss his annual trip to compete at Roland Garros.The clay-court Grand Slam tournament has not been contested without him since 2004, when an ankle problem kept him away.

It also bans gender-affirming medical procedures or su...
