"I did an MRI today and didn't get the news I was hoping for. Apparently there is a tear in my side abdominal muscle. This happened in the last match of Davis Cup against Poland. The estimated time for healing is 6 weeks from the time of injury. There is not much I can do, but to rest and hope it heals quickly.

I will use this time to do as much fitness as I can without stressing the muscle and keep my body in good shape so that when the abdominal gets better I'm physically ready to play again.

Obviously always disappointing to get injured, but I understand that it is part of this sport. I need to stay positive, enjoy the time I can spend home since that doesn't happen often and then come back stronger than before.
