Pospisil off ATP for three months after surgery
Vasek Pospisil will miss the next three months of ATP Tour events following successful back surgery, Tennis Canada announced on Monday.
The world singles number 74 underwent the operation on Friday in New York to ease back pain that had been nagging him since an injury sustained in October at the ATP Paris Masters.
"After exhausting multiple options, it was determined that the best course of action was for Vasek to undergo surgical microdiscectomy to repair his herniated disk," spinal physician Frank Cammisa said.

Cilic, Del Potro advance as Dimitrov falls in Miami
Marin Cilic survived a tough examination by Vasek Pospisil to reach the fourth round of the Miami Open with a 7-5 7-6(4) victory after nearly two hours on Sunday.
But the tournament, with world number one Roger Federer already ousted, lost another highly-ranked player when Grigor Dimitrov, the third seed, was taken down 6-4 6-4 by Frenchman Jeremy Chardy.
Juan Martin del Potro, the fifth seed, was more fortunate, winning his 13th consecutive match by defeating Kei Nishikori 6-2 6-2.
The big-hitting Cilic fired six aces and saved all three break points he faced against Pospisil, but the 77th-ranked Canadian made it more difficult than the Croat probably expected.

Murray stunned by Pospisil at Indian Wells
Andy Murray was stunned in his opening match at the BNP Paribas Open by a man ranked 128 places below him, losing 6-4, 7-6 (4) to Canadian qualifier Vasek Pospisil on Saturday night.
It was, without a doubt, the biggest singles victory of his career for Pospisil, who spun around and flung away his racket after smacking a forehand winner to convert his fourth match point. Pospisil's best accomplishment in tennis to date was winning a Wimbledon doubles title with Jack Sock of the U.S. in 2014.
