Yikes. And here I thought he just wanted to skip the clay court season.
Mardy underwent surgery for an arrhythmia in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
He told USA Today: It felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest.
During days, I'm totally fine. I can track it and work out fine.
But every time I would go to bed my mind would start racing.
Is this going to happen tonight? Is this going to be another night like that?
It was super hard to go to sleep.
I was completely panicking, I thought I was going to die.

He says he'll be back in time for Wimbledon, possibly even Queens Club.

I want to stress that I'm good now, I'm fine, they've fixed the problem.
I don't want people to think I missed the French Open because...
I didn't want to go because I was just tired. That's just not the case.
Look, I'm still in the top 10 in the world and still the No. 1 American.
This is still a very fun time for me.
I don't want to sit on my ass while I'm 10 in the world.

Get well soon, Mardy.
