SANTIAGO, Chile (AP)—Chilean tennis player Fernando Gonzalez says he’ll have hip surgery and expects to be out up to nine months.

Gonzalez said Wednesday on his website that he will have surgery on his right hip on Oct. 4 in New York. He said his doctor said knee surgery is also a possibility.

Gonzalez has been out sidelined for much of the year. He attempted to play in the recent U.S. Open but retired during the third set of his first-round match.

they said its the new injury

he could come back refreshed and become dangerous on certain days or this might be it for him


i could watch him rip forehands all day

Oh no!

He is one of my favourite players.

Personally Gonazles is such a terrible player.

He's great. I just feel like mentally he is not very strong. Sometimes he's really great and then when he loses a few points in a row he plays terrible for the rest of the game. It really gets me mad sometimes. He does always make a show though
