Murray ne igra na Australian Openu!

Samo nekoliko dana nakon što se povukao s prvog turnira sezone bivši svjetski broj 1 Andy Murray objavio je da neće nastupiti ni na Australian Openu koji počinje 15. januara.

30-godišnji Škot nije igrao od Wimbledona prošlog ljeta, a zbog ozljede kuka, od koje se još nije oporavio, odgodio je svoj povratak na teren.

“Nažalost, ne mogu nastupiti u Melbourneu ove godine, nisam spreman za takmičenje. Letim kući kako bih razmotrio sve opcije. Hvala na porukama podrške, nadam se da se uskoro vraćam”, poručio je Murray.

Murray je prije godinu bio na prvom mjestu ATP ljestvice, a danas je na 16.

Na svom Instagramu objavio je i emotivnu poruku kojom objašnjava fanovima svoju trenutnu situaciju.

“Prolazim kroz težak period zbog svojeg kuka. Tražio sam pomoć najboljih specijalista, napravio sam sve što je bilo potrebno za oporavak, radio sam naporno da se vratim na teren. Odradio treninge u Brisbaneu s top igračima, no nažalost nisam još na nivou na kojoj bih želio biti. Moram razmotriti svoje opcije, dati vremena kuku da se oporavi. To je jedna opcija. Operacija je također opcija, ali šanse za uspješni ishod nisu toliko visoke koliko bih želio i nadam se da ću to izbjeći. Ipak, to je nešto što moram razmotriti. Nadam se da neću morati.

Izabrao sam fotografiju mene kao klinca, koji čuči u meni i samo želi igrati tenis. Natjecati se. Nedostaje mi to. Dao bih sve da se mogu vratiti. Nisam shvatio koliko volim ovu igru do posljednjih nekoliko mjeseci. Svaki put kad se probudim, nadam se da će biti bolje. Demoralizirajuće je izaći na teren a da nisi na nivou potrebnom za takmičenje na najvišem nivou”, napisao je između ostalog Murray.







 Hey everyone.. Just wanted to write a little message on here for anyone interested in what in going through right now. Firstly I want to apologise to @brisbanetennis for withdrawing at late notice and to everyone who wanted to come along to watch me play(or lose????) The organisers couldn't have been more understanding and supportive and I'll always remember that. Thank you. I've obviously been going through a really difficult period with my hip for a long time and have sought council from a number of hip specialists. Having been recommended to treat my hip conservatively since the US Open I have done everything asked of me from a rehab perspective and worked extremely hard to try get back on the court competing. Having played practice sets here in Brisbane with some top players unfortunately this hasn't worked yet to get me to the level I would like so I have to reassess my options. Obviously continuing rehab is one option and giving my hip more time to recover. Surgery is also an option but the chances of a successful outcome are not as I high as I would like which has made this my secondary option and my hope has been to avoid that. However this is something I may have to consider but let's hope not. I choose this pic as the little kid inside me just wants to play tennis and Compete.. I genuinely miss it so much and i would give anything to be back out there. I didn't realise until these last few months just how much I love this game. Everytime I wake up from sleeping or napping i hope that it's better and it's quite demoralising when you get on the court it's not at the level you need it to be to compete at this level. In the short term I'm going to be staying in Australia for the next couple of days to see if my hip settles down a bit and will decide by the weekend whether to stay out here or fly home to assess what I do next. Sorry for the long post but I wanted to keep everyone in the loop and get this off my chest as it's really hurting inside. Hope to see you back on the court soon ????????❤️
