Andy Murray is preparing to travel to Australia with his first match in three months potentially 11 days away.
The Brisbane International starts the 2019 season on 31 December.
Murray only played six tournaments this year and wants plenty of time to acclimatise and prepare as he continues his recovery from hip surgery.
The former world number one said on social media: "I'm planning to get to Brisbane pretty early - probably a week before the start of the tournament."
Murray was due to make his third appearance in Brisbane a year ago, having been sidelined with a hip injury since Wimbledon 2017.
