Andy Murray, the British tennis star, was on the sidelines for quite some time because of a tiresome groin injury in 2019. However, after going through a tedious rehab session, the 34-year-old stepped back into the court. He took part in almost every major tournament this year. Though he failed to perform well in any of the tournaments and made it up to the initial rounds only.

Even so, the former World No.1 openly admitted that there is still fire left in him and he would make a stronger comeback. Therefore, he decided to take a break and train himself before playing on the grass. Thus skipping the entire clay-court season. However, Murray seems to have changed his mind.

Be Ready to Witness Andy Murray in Action

Murray has decided to make a comeback after missing the first clay-court tournament in Monte Carlo. The Brit accepted a wildcard entry into the main draw of the tournament. Thereby he will battle for the title at Madrid Open 2022.

Earlier before the summer double, Murray addressed the media and spoke about reconnecting with his old coach, Ivan Lendl. While speaking about the same, he also accepted that he would extend his stay for an intensive training session. However, later he made an official statement about not taking part in clay-based tournaments this year. He said, “The past couple of years, the clay has made issues worse.”

Further, he added, “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.” However, now it looks like he wants to play tournaments till his age and injuries permit with no regard to the surface.

Murray in the Clay

Andy Murray has won 46 career titles, out of which only three are clay-based victories. The three-times grand slam champion won his first clay-court title in 2015 at an ATP 250 event in Munich. Thereafter, he claimed an ATP 1000 trophy by winning the Madrid Masters.
After Madrid, he took the Italian opens title under his name in 2016. Further, he also became the runner-up at the 2016 Madrid Masters and French Open.

As Murray is yet to claim his first French Open title depending upon his performance in the upcoming tournament, he will be able to estimate his run in Roland Garros 2022.
