Frances Tiafoe out indefinitely with elbow injury

Frances Tiafoe won't play for a while as the American announced he is suffering from an elbow injury without a fixed timeline of return.

American star Frances Tiafoe announced he would be taking time off to heal a persistent elbow injury—with no immediate return date in sight. He explained in an Instagram post:

"Just wanted to update y’all I’ve been dealing with an elbow problem for a little while now. I will be taking some time off to fix the issue. Not the most ideal start of the year but imma be back soon enough. See y’all soon"

It's unfortunate timing for Tiafoe who finished off 2021 in impressive fashion. His start to the year was less than ideal with awful performances in Australia. The reason for it is the elbow which will take some time to heal as Tiafoe seems unwilling to undergo surgery. How long will it take remains to be seen?
