Blake Returns Home Saturday to See Specialists
James Blake will return home to Connecticut Saturday after being hospitalized in Rome following a freak accident during practice. Blake tumbled head first into a net post while chasing a drop shot Thursday. He was taken to Concordia Hospital with neck and back injuries. Blake had earlier in the week met with Pope John Paul II.
Blake’s agent Carlos Fleming indicated that optimistically Blake hoped to return to the circuit to play Roland Garros (starting May 24) but that he would not resume playing until he was ready.
Blake is wearing a temporary neck brace and is able to walk on his own power. He will see medical specialists upon his return to the US.
Blake said: "I want to thank all my fans for their well wishes and support. I'm still a little sore but feeling much better. I am doing fine and was pleased to hear positive news today from the doctors who are treating me here in Rome.
"There was no neurological damage and all reports indicate that I will be back on the court soon. I feel pretty lucky. It's probably a good thing I went to see the Pope on Tuesday! My next step is to head back to the US to see my doctors at home and reconfirm that everything is ok. I look forward to being back on the courts in the coming weeks."
