Lleyton Hewitt will miss up to three weeks of autumn ATP play as he heals a hand injury suffered in a Davis Cup tie last weekend.
Australian captain John Fitzgerald said his national No. 1 player hurt himself in the weekend doubles rubber against Belgium in the relegation play after winning his day one singles match.
"Lleyton has a strain in the back of his hand close to his wrist - it was painful," said the skipper. "He sustained it late in the second set. The doc says he will need three weeks to get over it."
The diagnosis could endanger what had been planned as a full schedule of indoor play for the world No. 36.
Hewitt had been hoping to compete in Tokyo sarting in a fortnight and at the Shanghai Masters 1000 next month. The 29-year-old has performed indifferently since a Wimbledon fourth-round appearance against Novak Djokovic, losing in the first round of the US Open to Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu after winning just one summer hardcourt match in North America.
