Kei Nishikori surgery: My hip was not too bad

Nishikori had hip surgery earlier this year. Although many had questions about whether he would install a metal hip, Nishikori emphasized that his injury was not as serious as Murray's.

The Japanese consulted with some, with the aim of understanding the seriousness of the surgery and the potential return. “My hip was not too bad, not like Andy,” Nishikori said.
“We shaved some bone away and also I had a little bit of a tear in the labrum.

Had I kept playing without the surgery then I may have had to do something like Andy did. But fortunately, I found out before it got really bad.
I talked to James Duckworth, who had the same surgery and I was really surprised how quickly he came back to playing.

But he told me that he had some issues, so perhaps he came back too early. I decided to take a little more time." Source: EUROSPORT
