Forced out of India's recent Davis Cup tie due to a shoulder injury, doubles specialist Rohan Bopanna on Thursday said his recovery is on the right track and he plans to compete at the Qatar Open in January. "It (the shoulder) is getting better and I just started training, maybe 2-3 days ago. So, I have a whole month before the season starts. So it will be fine by the time the first tournament starts, which is on the January 6th - Doha event in Qatar," Bopanna told PTI.

The Qatar ExxonMobil Open will be held in Doha from January 6 to 12. The 39-year-old had pulled out from India's Davis Cup tie against Pakistan after sustaining a shoulder injury. "There was a small tear after I took the MRI. Initially, the doctors said that it should be fine after 15 days rest, but it didn't and when I went to practice, there was still lot of pain," he said.
