Leyton Hewitt is again battling pain in his right hip, with a Melbourne tabloid reporting that more surgery cannot be ruled out of the question.
Hewitt has been trying to keep his fitness worry quiet after losing to Roger Federer for the 15th time in succession in the Australian Open fourth round.
The Herald Sun reported the new development has the Hewitt camp worried. But they will not use it as an excuse after another hammering from Federer.
Hewitt, 28, underwent hip surgery in August, 2008, and made a return the following January. He won a clay title in Houston last April as he rose back up the ranks.
The 22nd-ranked Australian is entered in US indoor events next month in San Jose and Memphis, followed by a Davis Cup zonal clash with Taiwan in Melbourne the first weekend in March.
Hewitt kept his comments to a minimum, saying he did "everything right."
"I prepared exactly the way that I wanted to prepare for the Australian summer. Gave 100 percent every time again. I ran into the best player right at the moment, I would say."
