Chile's Fernando Gonzalez is bracing for an extended layoff after announcing that he will have hip and possibly knee surgery next month. The former Australian Open finalist and World No. 5 will have right hip surgery on 4 October in New York.
A statement on Gonzalez's official web site said that he could be sidelined for eight to nine months, which puts his return date at midway through or late in next year's European clay court season.
Gonzalez will have the surgery with Doctor Brian Kelly, who is a noted orthopaedic surgeon specialising in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder, hip and knee.
