Ross Hutchins in remission

British tennis player Ross Hutchins has confirmed that he is in remission following a battle with cancer.

The 28-year-old was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in December 2012, which forced him to take an extended break from the sport.

However, following several months of treatment, the London-born player has revealed that he is on the road to recovery.

"Was a big day today. Met my Oncologist and I am now in remission :) So grateful to fantastic Professor Cunningham and his team," he wrote on Twitter.

"Thank you to everyone for your constant, incredible support. I couldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for all of you, I really mean that!"

Wimbledon and US Open champion Andy Murray dedicated some of most recent victories to Hutchins.
