The great news is that the operation was not very complicated and the Stefanos is completely confident that he will compete in Australia.
The world number 4 released the following statement on Facebook:
“Things often get tougher before they get easier but with each struggle we get an opportunity to create our own unique story.
Some days life is all about your dreams, hopes and visions for the future. There are also days where life is just about putting one foot in front of the other and that’s okay too.
To all the fans, thank you for your continuous support and encouragement.
Focused on a healthier and happier future.
Next stop, pre-season in Dubai two weeks from now and then looking forwards to Australia.”
