"I've played a couple of practice sets but I really wanted to test myself. The test was very successful so I'm obviously really glad. It's been an intense three weeks after surgery, spending a lot of hours rehabbing. "I kind of always wanted to give myself a chance to be in London. I think my surgeon is here.
