The 14-times Grand Slam champion said he visited a hospital in China's commercial hub on Sunday after suffering from stomach pains, and was diagnosed with the condition. He was then given a course of antibiotics which has relieved the pains. "I am in Shanghai. I am here to play a tournament. If I don't play, I don't have the possibility to win. So that's it," he said.
