According to tennis.com, Fernando Verdasco will miss Spain's upcoming Davis Cup tie to allow an abdominal injury to heal and have surgery on his foot." I have micro tears [in the abdominal], and tomorrow I have proof to know how long I need to rest, to recover. But I think it's going to take around one week or ten days," Verdasco said.Does that mean Verdasco would not be able to recover in time for the Malaysian Open scheduled to take place end of this month?
"So in that time, I will take that time also to have the surgery on my foot."
