Hey guys, I owe you some news about my recovery. I’ve been carrying this injury for the past two years, and during this time I’ve been seeing many doctors. Truth be told, there were many different opinions, different diagnoses, different suggestions… It was not easy for me to choose which way to go and what to do. I took 6 months off last season hoping to come back fully recovered, but unfortunately I still felt pain. I really missed competing, it’s in my blood and I had to give it a try on AO. Anyhow, I agreed with my team that I would try different methods after I finish in Australia and a few days ago I accepted to do a small medical intervention on my elbow. It seems like I am on the good road now to full recovery. It’s quite a journey this one, I have to say. I’m learning a lot and for that I’m grateful. I’ve always taken care of my body and looked for the most natural ways to heal, and my body has rewarded me with some incredible years on tour. I am super positive and excited to follow my recovery through so I can come back to the place I love the most. The court. I’ll keep you posted and thanks for cheering me on!
Dragi moji, želeo bih da podelim sa vama novosti o mom oporavku. Već dve godine koliko imam povredu dobijam različite dijagnoze, mišljenja, preporuke šta da radim…. Moram da priznam da mi je bilo jako teško da presečem i odlučim šta da radim, baš zato što nisam dobijao ista mišljenja od lekara. Pauzirao sam 6 meseci uveren da će to biti dovoljno da se oporavim, ali i posle svih terapija i odsustva i dalje sam osećao bol. Pokušao sam da se takmičim na Australian openu, nedostajalo mi je da se borim na terenu i zato sam morao da probam. Dogovorio sam se sa timom da ću posle turnira pokušati sa drugim opcijama za oporavak. Zato sam pre par dana imao medicinsku intervenciju lakta u Švajcarskoj. Čini mi se da sam na dobrom putu da se oporavim potpuno, ali znajte, ovo je baš jedan veliki izazov. Uvek sam se trudio da na najbolji način brinem o sebi i zato sam uspevao toliko godina da igram na vrhunskom nivou. Razmišljam pozitivno i verujem u brz oporavak sa nadom ću uskoro moći ponovo da izadjem na teren i da radim ono u čemu istinski uživam.
