"That's sbo why I've taken a couple of weeks off and I did my treatment and I need to start again, as I said before, slow. So, that's my goal: try to be ready for the beginning (of the season)."I am going to try to play in Abu Dhabi and Brisbane before Australia, so that will be the ideal situation.
