But his fans became tense after he withdrew from the third-place playoff against Cameroon Norrie due to injury. Andy has been battling recurring hip injuries. He played 4 matches in five days during the tournament and so did not want to stress his body.

“I’m okay – it’s just that this week is by far the most I’ve done in seven months. “One of the shins has been an issue and it’s a bit sore, so best not to risk it,” Murray said.
