Three time grand slam champion Andy Murray has given an update on his hip injury as the grass court season looms.
The former world number one has given an update on his hip injury in a latest interview with Jaguar, he explained that he is started to practice again as he looks to make an imminent return to the tour, “It’s been very slow. I’ve been out getting close to a year now which is a lot longer than I think me or any of my team expected at the beginning,” the Scot admitted. “But I’m getting closer to playing again, I’ve started training a few days ago and hoping to make my comeback during the grass court season.”
The 31 year old, who will drop out of the world’s top 100 after Roland Garros, has remained hopeful that he can be in contention at Wimbledon next month, “I’m hoping I will be there [in contention at Wimbledon] but Roger Federer has obviously got a phenomenal record at grass. He’s won seven times at Wimbledon so he’ll definitely be up there as one of the favourites. But you never know, it depends a little bit on the draw.”
The Brit hasn’t played since last year’s Wimbledon quarter-finals, where he lost to Sam Querrey as he has been struggling with a hip injury and even had surgery in January in Melbourne. The world number 47 is set to make his return next week at the Libema Open in S-Hertogenbosch.
