Andy Murray got to his second final this season, but it may have come at a high cost. After a drought of five years, he seems to have figured out how and when to play to maximize his on court success. Yet, we see the same story with athletes, their bodies start to break down. After struggling to find his form with his artificial hip joint, now the Brit must contend with an abdominal injury.
Will Andy Murray Play At Wimbledon?
Meanwhile, Matteo Berrettini is looking good after his three-month layoff following hand surgery. It was a battle between two previously wounded contenders and the younger player prevailed in three sets. We hope that Murray’s injury is nothing serious and he will be back for Wimbledon in a couple of weeks.
