Andy Murray will not be competing in the Davis Cup finals in Malaga next week due to a shoulder injury.
Liam Broady will take Murray’s place for Great Britain on Thursday when they play Serbia in their quarterfinal. It was first reported earlier this week that the former Wimbledon champion had suffered a minor shoulder injury.
Murray recently shared this news on Twitter, which read: “I’ve picked up a minor shoulder injury, which means I won’t be able to take part in the Davis Cup. I’m gutted not to be a part of the squad, but my focus is now on rehab and getting ready for the new season.”
Murray’s season is pretty much over as a result of the injury, and he will now likely concentrate on recovering until 2024. Beginning on January 14, the Australian Open is the first Grand Slam of the year.
He is not the first member of Great Britain’s Davis Cup team to withdraw. After suffering a calf injury, Dan Evans also withdrew, leaving Cam Norrie, Jack Draper, Neal Skupski, and Joe Salisbury in the squad to play Serbia before Broady was added.
Gutted for Andy Murray, who won't be playing at the @DavisCup finals đź’”
