“I am very disappointed,” Tsonga, 31, said in a statement.
“It is one of my favourite tournaments, home of some very happy moments for me on the court — reaching the top 100 for the first time and playing in the final — and I was looking forward to coming back.”
Defending champion Andy Murray will be aiming for a record fifth title when the event gets underway on Monday.
