Capriati was hospitalised last month after being stabbed by his father.

On January 22, he revealed he had been transferred from Caserta to the Monaldi hospital in Naples due to complications and had undergone a six hour surgery the day prior.

Capriati wrote: “They saved my life, for the second time ... I already feel much better, the surgery went perfectly and in 5 days maybe I will be back home and then recover for a couple of weeks but I really believe that this is the end of this terrible nightmare. I felt like writing this message for the many people who are close to me, who are worried about my health and who are asking about me

“Nothing happens by chance, God tests you when you least expect it and you have to be ready for anything. I will come back stronger than before I promise you and I will give so much, but really so much more for music and for humanity until my strength leaves me. See you soon and thank you all for every little thought you have had towards me. I will never forget it.”*
