He told the presser at Battle of Brits, “playing the Grand Slams would be my priority. I think the schedule is tricky and I understand the reason why it is like that. I don’t know exactly which tournaments I will and won’t play in terms of the lead up to the Grand Slams.”

“My hip has been feeling better for probably the past three or four weeks. It feels better than it did in March.
