The 14-times Grand Slam champion said he visited a hospital in China&rsquo;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. &ldquo;I am in Shanghai. I am here to play a tournament. If I don&rsquo;t play, I don&rsquo;t have the possibility to win. So that's it,&rdquo; he said.
