ENGLISH TRANSLATION BELOW: Magnus
is getting better. In three weeks he will be able to throw away the
crutches (Swedish expression) And chances are he will be able to have
a comeback in Australia next year.
Before
Magnus had thought that he would not be back until February and
then miss the beginning of the season and AO but now he is hopeful
that he can play again. "It is going to be tough but I have
definitely not closed the door on my return". Whether he plays
in AO or not Magnus attitude will be a lot different than in the
past. For the first time in his career he is planning to play in the
South American circuit. "There are some claycourt events in
February and March there. Besides I am much more comfortable on the
claycourt surface."
If he plays it would be in Bogota, Colombia, Buenos Aires, Argentina and Chile. Tennis events the Swedes usually do not play. 'Do you feel the need to play when you see the Stockholm Open?' "Yes very much so, before it was more whatever but now I really feel the urge"
PS: This is translated
by a Swedish person so spelling might not be very accurate! Someone
mentioned that they saw Magnus wondering around in Stockholm Open
and he was a commentator on Swedish TV. Things look good for him
now, doesn't it? Go Magnus!!!!!!!!!!
