In any case, 2018 had seen something of a resurgence from a player who dropped to 581 on the planet in 2015.
He beat Swiss incredible Roger Federer in the Indian Wells Masters last in March and in September he achieved a second Grand Slam last, yet was beaten in straight sets by current world No.1 Novak Djokovic at the US Open.
He even achieved a profession high positioning of three in August.
I hope you have a great 2019. Recovery is going great and I will tell you later where I will be making my comeback. Unfortunately it won’t happen in Australia, I’ll miss you @AustralianOpen, but I’m happy with my progress ☺️
Happy New Year! Enjoy! ??
