US Open champion Marin Cilic admitted Sunday he could miss the Australian Open, the season’s opening grand slam tournament, because of an arm injury.
“An MRI exam in Zagreb showed that after some 20 days of therapy the situation with the (right upper arm) injury has improved,” 26-year-old Cilic told AFP through his spokesman, Igor Rajkovic.
“Since there is very little time for a full recovery and training, my appearance at the Australian Open is unfortunately under a big question mark.
“I have not cancelled my appearance in Melbourne. I will leave it for another seven to eight days to see how the situation will develop.”
Some Croatian media reported earlier Sunday that world No 9 Cilic had cancelled his participation at the Australian Open due to the arm injury which occurred several months ago but has deteriorated in the past month.
The Australian Open starts in Melbourne on January 19.

Should late investors consider cryptocurrencies?
Wealth managers recommend late investors to have a balanced portfolio that typically includes traditional assets such as cash, government and corporate bonds, equities, commodities and commercial property.
They do not usually recommend investing in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies due to the risk and volatility associated with them.
“It has produced eye-watering returns for some, whereas others have lost substantially as this has all depended purely on timing and when the buy-in was. If someone still has about 20 to 25 years until retirement, there isn’t any need to take such risks,” Rupert Connor of Abacus Financial Consultant says.
He adds that if a person is interested in owning a business or growing a property portfolio to increase their retirement income, this can be encouraged provided they keep in mind the overall risk profile of these assets.
