It is indeed optimistic to see Andy Murray take up challenges one after the other in the current stage of his career. He’s not the player from the past, but the 33-year-old is looking to make a mark despite his injury struggles.
A positive COVID-19 test halted Murray’s initial comeback to the tour at the Australian Open 2021. However, the two-time Wimbledon champ kept his head high and competed in a challenger event to get back into shape for the remainder of the 2021 ATP season.
