Caledonian Craig Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 2 hours ago, Bannannan said: No Brisbane for Andy.Looks like OP is on the cards. To be honest, and it pains me to say this, I think his days of competing at the highest level is over. He has rested the hip for 6 months and it is still troubling him. An operation may alleviate the pain but cannot see it beingf anything more than an act of desperation. I say this as, if an operation was straight forward and a guaranteed cure he would have done it six months ago. Thanks for the memories Andy.

min Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 It does feel like this is the end of high level competition for Andy and time also appears to be catching up with the others as Nadal, Djokovic and Wawrinka are all major doubts for Melbourne... the freak that is Fed keeps on going though.

However, it'll have been a carefully thought out decision. Maybe the surgeon there is one of the best? Or maybe he just wanted to get it done as quickly as possible? Or that he'd planned to be away from home anyway and now won't be tempted to chase a 2 year old about the house with a dodgy hip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Fingers crossed for Andy. There were some very pessimistic "experts" in the media last week, let's hope he proves them wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Quotes attributed to Andy state that he's been told that other players who've had the same surgery were back practicing in around 8 weeks and back playing in around 14 weeks. 14 weeks is only mid-April, so there might be an outside chance of an appearance at Roland Garros (please, Andy, i want to see you!). However, due to him liking plenty time to adjust to new surfaces due to his back condition and it being his least likely slam to win, he may just decide to get plenty practice on the grass instead.

Caledonian Craig Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I really hope this surgery works out for him. Right now I'd just take him back playing again as a success - anything else would be a bonus. Best of luck Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
