USA Tour Autumn 2012 #3


Mountain backdrop of Indian Wells
After his close loss in the qualifying at Indian Wells, Greg was back on the training court but his left leg was still giving him a lot of pain. After consultation with the tournament physios Greg had an MRI scan done on the troublesome knee last Friday, which indicated that he probably had inflammation on the tendon where it inserts into bone below the knee but there was no evidence of any damage to the bone. So good news and bad news. The prognosis is that, in order to improve, the leg needs complete rest and then some physio to restore strength and fitness.

So Greg has stopped training and has withdrawn from the Challenger tournament in Mexico. He is flying back to Melbourne for a couple of weeks of rest and physio. If the leg repairs, and after suitable tests, he will then be able to resume tennis and fitness training to get his fitness and form back before he re-commences tournament play.
Good luck Greg. We hope the leg gets better and that it is only a small blip in your career. Enjoy the break from tennis.
