Canadian Milos Raonic is already planning his return to Wimbledon in a year after being diagnosed with strained ligament after a fall on court which left him unable to complete his second-round match.
"It was an unfortunate situation in yesterday's match, but I'm looking forward to returning to Wimbledon in 2012," said the 20-year-old from Thornhill, Ont.
The mishap occurred after the 25th-ranked Raonic had broken Luxembourg's Gilles Muller for a 2-1 lead in the first set. The Canadian slid on the grass and went down awkwardly, ending his effort in pain after just 23 minutes.
Raonic went for scans at a local hospital. "I strained some ligaments around my hip and we're doing some more tests just as a precautionary measure," he said. "I'm hopeful that I will be back practising in the very near future and looking forward to Davis Cup".
Canada are to face Ecuador in an Davis Cup American Zone second-round tie July 8-10 in Guayaquil. Raonic would have played Rafael Nnadal in a third-round showcase match had he defeated Muller.
