Andy Murray, the seasoned tennis professional, has received positive news regarding his left ankle injury sustained during the Miami Open.
Despite severe damage to two ankle ligaments, Murray, aged 36, will not require surgical intervention, a development that significantly boosts his prospects for a timely return to competitive tennis.
The injury, incurred during the third round of the Miami Open against Tomas Machac of the Czech Republic, resulted in the rupture of both the ATFL (anterior talofibular ligament) and CFL (calcaneofibular ligament).
Had surgery been necessary, it would have potentially jeopardised Murray’s participation in the upcoming Wimbledon Championships scheduled for July.
Reports from Murray’s camp indicate that his rehabilitation progress is promising, with an anticipated return to on-court training in the near future.
While no official timeline has been established for his competitive comeback, speculation suggests that the French Open commencing on May 26 may arrive too soon for his return to the circuit.
Murray, a former world No.1 and a three-time Grand Slam champion, harbors ambitions of making his 16th and final appearance at Wimbledon this summer.
Although he plans to retire from professional tennis by the end of the season, a definitive endpoint to his illustrious career is yet to be determined.
Looking ahead, Murray aims to secure a ranking that would guarantee his representation of Team GB at the Paris Olympics, marking his fourth consecutive Olympic Games participation.
As he navigates his recovery and prepares for potential future competitions, Murray remains focused on concluding his tennis journey on a high note. — mundodeportivo
