Andy Murray underwent hip resurfacing surgery at the start of 2019. The difficult journey began to rediscover the form and fitness that made him the best player in the world.
Andy made a successful comeback by winning his first tournament back in the doubles at Queens Club alongside Feliciano Lopez. He did this by beating fellow three-time Major champion Stan Wawrinka.
The former world no.1 reached the summit of men’s professional tennis and won the third of his three Grand Slam titles in 2016. He has had one of the most successful careers in the men’s game.
Andy Murray On His Future Plans
After his early exit from the 2022 Australia Open, Andy Murray is all set to play at the ATP 500 in Rotterdam after being granted a wildcard.
Murray will face in-form Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan in the first round. Bublik is currently on a five-match winning streak. The Kazak recently won Montpellier Open title in France where he stunned Alexander Zverev in the final.
In an interview before the match, the Scot said, “I’m 34 years old and, with the problems I’ve had in recent years, I have to be careful. But, as long as I feel good and healthy, I want to try to play.”
“That’s what the last years of rehabilitation and training were for. I don’t want to feel good in training, I want to feel good on the pitch, so I’ll try to play as long as I can.”
Andy Will Not Play The Clay Season
Andy Murray will miss the French Open in 2022. He had also skipped playing on clay last year and has confirmed he will not play on clay in the coming months.
Andy was speaking to BBC on his return to the tennis court and about him withdrawing from the French Open.
He said, “Right now I am not planning on playing through the clay. The past couple of years, the clay has made issues worse. Last year I had some issues at the beginning of the year, the clay didn’t help.”
“So I’ve spoken to my team about that and this year while I feel good and healthy, I don’t want to take that risk.”
“It’s not that I wouldn’t potentially play on clay in the future. Last year I almost missed Wimbledon, was close to not playing the grass season, I’m not planning on playing the clay.”
“I will still try to compete a bit during that period, I won’t do nothing, that’s my plan just now. I had a busy end of last year and the next couple of months I won’t take any risks and hopefully get a good build up to the grass season.”
