Alex's treet from 6 hours ago:

Felt great playing full court today for 1st time since injuring my arm :) #rehab #progress #nomoreminiorange


Great stuff :)

playing in Greece next week and British tour this week.

He trained with Harry and Liam last week under the guidance of Hilts(judging by the tweet i saw)

Bad news about Alex, I'm afraid. He's cracked a bone in his radius so he's going to be out for a few months. Such a shame as he was going so well.

That is desperately unfortunate. And just when things were going to well.

Get well soon Alex.

Gutted as he was doing so well. Hope it heals well and he's back on the court soon

Tough luck - any ideas how long this takes to recover from. Will Alex be able to play again this year?

Alex: "Thanks for all the kind messages regarding my injury, especially the people on this forum, very generous!  britishtennis.activeboard.com/t58128437/alex"

Very kind of Alex to acknowledge the support under the circumstances. If we weren't big fans already ... (but I think most of us already were! )

Oh, Lord.

When he was out earlier this year, wasn't that with a broken bone in his arm too ? I remember his talking about a 'crack' in his arm bone . . .

I must admit that once players have come back and are doing well, I tend to forget exactly when previous injuries occurred, how long they lasted for or exactly what they were, but looking back at the last 12 months' T25 tables, he got a foot injury linked to a retirement in Este in late August which didn't keep him out of action for that long (though his results for a while after he came back weren't great) and then an arm injury early in 2014 after Sunrise which kept him out from mid-January until late March, since when he has reached 6 Futures singles finals, winning 4 of them and making a new career high.

Makes you wonder what he could do if he was fully fit for 12 months in a row - I hope he gets the chance to find out before too long. It must be so frustrating racking up the points like that only to have something like this happen
