The Tandilense told his decision in a message posted on his Instagram account.
He assured that his goal is to arrive healthy at the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games.
In addition, he expressed his grief at the death of his father, Daniel, although he expressed his desire to continue trying to play tennis again.
"Everything is very hard since the death of my father. But I also feel the force that sends me from above," he said.

The full message
"Hello everyone. I wanted to say hello and tell you that I am currently in Chicago. I have been consulting with Dr. Jorge Chahla and the news is that tomorrow I will have surgery on my knee again. We have tried conservative therapy but the pain is still there. He knows that I want to play tennis again and be able to play the Olympics, so we have agreed that the surgery should be done as soon as possible.
Of course, these last few weeks have not been easy for me. Everything is very hard since my father passed away. But I also feel the force that sends me from above. I had a day where I woke up and called the doctor. He knew he had to try again.
I hope I can overcome this painful situation. I will not stop trying. Of course, your messages and best wishes are always welcome. Thanks for the love. Take care.
