The 29-year-old Frenchman, runner up in 2008 to Novak
Djokovic, posted a photograph of himself on Twitter showing his
right arm in a brace.
"It's with a big disappointment that I have to postpone today
the start of my season," Tsonga said.
"I'm still suffering from a forearm inflammation (intersection
syndrome) and that prevents me being at 100 percent of my
capacities in a competition."
"I'm going to receive over three weeks all the needed treatments
to be able to be back on track in the best conditions."
Tsonga, who withdrew from this week's Hopman Cup, hurt his arm
playing for France in the Davis Cup final but appeared at the
inaugural International Premier Tennis League in December.
