Melzer out for 9 months after surgery
Jurgen Melzer will be out for nine months and will miss the 2016 Rio Olympics following surgery on his left shoulder.
Melzer, who hasn't played since the U.S. Open, has been struggling for years with persistent shoulder problems.
The 34-year-old lefthander said on Friday "after three months of conservative treatment I've decided to have my torn labrum arthroscopically repaired."
