Andy Murray has displayed some of his best tennis in the majors this year. While he was doing his best, his sudden withdrawal from this year’s warm-up tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati raised concerns about whether he would play the US Open or not. And now, the British player has finally shared an update regarding returning for the last shot at Grand Slam glory this year.

After Wimbledon, things went a south for the three-time Grand Slam champion. He faced a little distress in the form of an abdominal injury. However, now that the tournament is approaching, he has finally addressed the concerns regarding his presence on the tour.

Andy Murray gears up for the US Open

As the main draw of the US Open is right around the corner, the 36-year-old shared an update in a pre-tournament press conference. He has finally calmed his fans with a confident statement regarding playing the US Open.

He said, “The radiologist from back home looked at my scans and checked them, I had a small tear, which is healing and the last five or six days of practice have been really good, I’ve not had any issues serving. It’s just obviously been a bit [difficult], you don’t just take a week off from serving and then go full into it, you need to build up a little bit so it’s not been perfect in that sense, but my ab has been okay.”
