Magnus Norman hopes to launch another comeback on the court — the practice court — next week. The former second-ranked Swede underwent surgery on his left knee and left hip in Gothenburg at the start of the month, according to the ATP. Norman is hoping to return to the practice court next week.
The 2000 Roland Garros runner-up has been plagued by hip problems that have curtailed his career. Norman underwent his first hip surgery on August 21st, 2001 and returned to the ATP Tour after a six-month absence. But he he struggled to regain the form he showed in capturing five tournament titles and reaching the Roland Garros final and Australian Open final four in 2000.
The 27-year-old Swede advanced to the quarterfinals in Shanghai last month before the injury forced him to retire while trailing Jiri Novak. Currently ranked No. 113, Norman has produced a 10-19 record this season after finishing 2002 with a 12-19 record.
