Thomas Johansson could miss the rest of the year
STOCKHOLM, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Thomas Johansson could miss the rest of the year because of a knee injury that has kept him out of competitive play since the Masters in Shanghai last November.
The 2002 Australian Open champion has postponed his comeback several times this year and has now pulled out of tournaments in Moscow next week and Lyon, France the week after.
"Things don't look too bright," Johansson's coach Magnus Tideman told Reuters on Wednesday. "He is likely to miss out on most of the year."
"We haven't given up on this year, though... We're still aiming at the Stockholm Open," he added.
The Stockholm Open, which Johansson won in 2000, runs from October 20 to 26.
"He is still at the gym most of the time," Tideman said of Johansson, who underwent surgery in February and has since been training to regain strength in the muscles around the knee.
