Former World Number 1 Andy Murray is under question not only for the first 2018 tennis tournament in Brisbane, but also for the Australian Open, which begins on January 15th. This is a statement in an analysis by the British Telegraph summarizing the current situation of the still injured Scot. Murray continues to train, and from a psychological point of view there is no problem, and he is still extremely mobilized to return to the court. But he is still training with his mentor Jamie Delgado at the All England Club in London. It is surprising that at this stage of the year and just 10 days left until the launch in Brisbane, Murray did not travel to Australian land.
Six weeks ago, when the Glasgow charity event involving Roger Federer, the Scotsman announced he planned earlier than usual to fly to Australia to get used to the situation there and to prepare himself as well as possible. This is not the case at the moment, and there comes the concern not only of the fans but also of the media on the island. Telegraph also reports that Murray has not yet been engaging with other top 100 players, which is common practice for athletes recovering from an injury. However, his plan to be in Australia remains in place, the newspaper said.
Murray chose not to undergo thigh surgery, which caused him trouble even in the past, although it has been minimal. When he dropped out of Stan Wawrinka`s Roland Garros semifinals, he first admitted he was awakened with severe pain in the area in question, and after Wimbledon`s quarterfinals against Sam Querry, it was clear that he needed a more serious pause forto deal with the problem. It can not be excluded that he will do his best to attend Australia for the Grand Slam tournament from football betting partners and give up at the last minute, as he did before the US Open, where he canceled his participation less than 48 hours before the start of the event, andafter the draw.
