Nothing new. It reports Guga starts hitting the balls since February and will return to play in April but not confirming whether it will be TMS Monte Carlo.

Well he said he's going to look at the calendar and see a tournament he enjoys playing in April and hopefully have a good comeback

the Davis Cup and the future of the tennis at Brazil.

to the presidente, to develop tennis at the country, from the start to the
highest level of Pro.

“We had a long meeting, I showed the project to Jorge and if it is possible
to execute it I will accept be captain of the Davis Cup. For me, only be
sitted at court and coach five, six players during the week of the Davis
Cup, will not add much. My interest is to make something for the Brazilian

Guga To Resume Practice; Will Miss Indian Wells, Miami

By Tennis Week

Gustavo Kuerten will resume practice within days, but will not be ready to play the season's first two Masters Series events: the Pacific Life Open at Indian Wells or the Nasdaq-100 Open in Miami.


Continuing his recovery from arthroscopic hip surgery, Kuerten plans to start practicing in the coming days, said Diana Gabanyi, Kuerten's communications director and contributor to his official web site Guga.com. The 28-year-old Kuerten, who was runner-up to Pete Sampras in the 2000 Nasdaq-100 Open final and lost to Lleyton Hewitt in the 2003 Indian Wells final, has not set a date for his return to tournament tennis.

The former No. 1 underwent arthroscopic surgery on his hip on September 21st at the Center of Sports Medicine in Pittsburgh. Bone spurs blocking Kuerten's hip movement were removed and the anterior capsule of the hip was tightened to strengthen the joint’s stability. Dr. Marc Philippon, a member of the surgical team that conducted the procedure, prescribed a rehab program that could span four to six months.

"The surgery was successful. We were able to remove all the injuries that were causing pain and blocking the movement," said Dr. Philippon immediately after the surgery.

Since the surgery, Kuerten has been splitting time between Philippon's Pittsburgh rehab center and his Florianopolis home.

thanks melon!!!

I figured he'd start his comeback on clay.

I'll miss him at IW. I just feel lucky I've gotten to see him play live several time. I'd love to see him on clay though.
