ATP World Tour No. 6 Andy Roddick is expected to resume training in two to three weeks after positive results from an MRI scan on his left knee.

The American was forced to retire with the injury just seven games into his second-round clash with Stanislas Wawrinka at the Shanghai ATP Masters 1000 Presented by Rolex on Tuesday evening and immediately flew to New York for medical advice.

Roddick’s official web site reported that his left knee was examined by Dr. David Dines and Dr. Josh Dines and the MRI scan showed a mild sprain of his Medial Collateral Ligament.

With no other injury apparent on his knee, the 27 year old is expected to make a full recovery and will not need surgery. He will rest and receive treatment and is expected to return to activity in two to three weeks.

The Texas resident is in pole position to clinch one of the three remaining singles berths at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals and is scheduled to appear at the Valencia Open 500 in Spain, beginning 2 November, and then the BNP Paribas Masters in Paris, the final ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament of the season, beginning 8 November.
