Andy Murray Suffers Another Major Setback
Follow Us
Former World No.1 Andy Murray further delays his comeback as he pulls out of next month’s Rotterdam Open and Montpellier Open. The Scot has failed to recover from the pelvic injury, which also forced him to skip the Australian Open 2020. The question still remains – when will Murray commence his 2020 season?
The three-time Grand Slam champion has not played since Britain’s opening match of the Davis Cup Finals 2019, last year in November. The bruising in the pelvic area also forced him to pull out of the last week’s ATP Cup 2020 and the Australian Open 2020.
