Over the years, Andy Murray has enthralled tennis fans with his audacious displays on the tennis court. His consistent performances in big tournaments have resulted in him being among the elite group in men’s tennis. However, over the last few years, his injury troubles have hindered his performance at the top level.
The British star has been troubled by hip injuries since the latter half of the 2017 season. Murray even had two major hip surgeries to repair the damage done. Subsequently, he had an on-off time on the tennis circuit. Nonetheless, Murray has shown massive signs of improvement this season. Recently, American legend Chris Evert praised the former World Number 1 for his recent performances.
