Andy Murray already has a rather tormented Wimbledon. The Briton is eager to defend his title at The Championships and his world no.1 rank, but his fitness has been precarious for long.
A few days ago, Murray suffered an injury to his hip that has prevented him from playing two warm-up matches in Hurlingham.
Yesterday, the world no.1 decided to have three training sessions (!!!), and it seems that the last one was rather satisfactory.
The current status
According to BBC Sport’s David Ornstein
“At about 9:30, Lendl told us that Murray was ‘doing great,’ and after ten the defending champion began hitting with Belgium’s Steve Darcis on the Aorangi Park practice courts.
The world number one then took part in some volleying and serving drills, appearing to reach close to full intensity. He continued to move gingerly and grimace, but he did not hold back.
Between serves, he was seen joking and smiling with Lendl, who also spent a period in deep conversation with Wimbledon chief executive Richard Lewis.
Murray left without taking any questions from the written or broadcast media.”
It’s extremely difficult to read this one. Next week we will definitely understand the situation better.
Uh oh… Andy Murray appears to be limping. Or is it all part of his Wimbledon masterplan? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/zevW1QkbvB
