Leander Paes [ Images ] will not play at Wimbledon [ Images ] this year.

The 32-year-old Indian ace will miss the annual grass court championship, which begins in two weeks' time, because of a shoulder injury.

Paes' father Dr Vece Paes said the injury is ''serious'', and will take at-least three to five weeks to heal.

Paes, who has won four titles at The Championships – the boys' singles in 1990, men's doubles in 1999 with Mahesh Bhupathi [ Images ], and the mixed doubles in 1999 and 2003 with Lisa Raymond [ Images ] and Martina Navratilova respectively – was troubled by the injury during the second and third sets of the French Open [ Images ] mixed doubles final.

After fine showing in the first set, he was unable to serve properly, and as a result he and partner Martina Navratilova went down 6-3, 3-6, 2-6 to unseeded pair of Daniela Hantuchova [ Images ] of Slovakia and Fabrice Santoro [ Images ] of France [ Images ].
