New Delhi: It’s good news for the all the Andy Murray fans as the British tennis sensation is going to make a comeback post an injury layoff. Murray, who has been struggling with numerous injuries since a very long time and was out of action due to the recent ankle problem, is fit and fine to take part in the upcoming Geneva Open, which is scheduled to start from May 18.
The three-time Grand Slam winner has been handed a wildcard for the event, which is considered to be a preparatory tour just before the French Open, which will kickstart in May 26. Murray, who has to focus on his health as the tour goes on is also targeting the French Open, in which the star tennis player participated 4 years back in 2020.
Murray dealing with injuries since 2019
Murray damaged his ligaments in his left ankle in the final set of his loss to Tomas Machac in the Miami Open in March and withdrew from the Monte Carlo Masters and Munich Open last month. He opted not to have surgery and will now return in the May 18-25 tournament in Switzerland. Murray, who had a hip resurfacing surgery in 2019, earlier said that he will not play much this summer but at the same time hopes to participate in another Olympics, representing his nation.
It will be important for the tennis sensation to play carefully at the week-long Geneva Open, keeping his recent injury in mind and the participation at the Roland Garros, where he has not won since 2017. He would be keen to make a mark at the Grand Slam event as the another big Grand Slam – the Wimbledon starts on July 1 and the Paris Games commence in the same month.
