Going down the stretch of the house, Alex de minaur is aiming to protect his body from the hobby until the end of the season.
The US Open De Mineur Quarterinalist withdrew from the Hong Kong exhibition this week by fueling a recurrence of hip damage that removed it for a month last summer.
Talking to talk Majeors Cedric roukuetteDe Minaur said he is experiencing “a lot of pain” in his hip and “can’t take any chance” while trying to qualify for the ATP finals for a second season right.
“Is a hip injury, the one I saw last year after Wimbledon who for a long time removed me, so it’s a worrying area,” De Mineur told tennis the major. “So this is something I can’t get in. Last year it removed me for nearly three or four months, and I played the rest of the year with pain.
“Now, are the warning signs. I have to make sure everything is good. I don’t want to have the same problem as last year. I have to be smart and take care of the body.”
Aussie of the seventh rank, which runs ATP in the difficult court’s victories this season, is a victory away from his 300th career victory.
De Minaur said he exacerbated the damage to Beijing, then took the painkillers to play Masters Rolex Shanghai, reaching the quarter -finals at the ATP Masters 1000 event before bowing to Danil Medvedev.
Now, De Minaur plans to have an MRI scan on his hip before setting his schedule for the last months of the season.
“I played through Shanghai with some sedatives against sedatives to do my best to pass, but I knew something was not right, right?” De Mineur told tennis the major. “I have to go to make a scan. I have to see what the issue is, why I’m still taking pain and after sitting with the team, doctor, medical team, we can appreciate what the game plan for the rest of the year, right?
“So there is a lot of question marks, a lot of uncertainty, so I have received a reception and see you, play the waiting game.”
