Indian tennis ace Leander Paes returned home on Tuesday night after treatment in an Orlando hospital for a brain lesion.
"I am feeling better and hope to come back to the court within two to three weeks," he told reporters at the Mumbai airport on his arrival home from New York.
Paes said he missed playing against Netherlands during Davis Cup world group qualifying clash. He was to team up his long-time partner Mahesh Bhupathi.
He said the boys fought well against a strong team and hoped that with such a talented bunch of youngsters, India would produce better results in future matches.
Leander also thanked Mahesh for giving him support when he needed it most. "I am really very grateful to Mahesh for supporting me during this crucial period of my career."
On teaming up with Bhupathi in future, Paes said, "We are definitely playing together in Davis Cup and Olympics. However, regarding other tournaments, we will discuss it once I come back on court."
Paes returned home by a British Airways flight from Orlando, where he was admitted to a hospital for a brain lesion a week before the US Open Grand Slam last month. The tumour turned out to be a parasytic infection of tapeworm rather than cancerous as the doctors feared.
