Andy Murray recently dropped out of the Italian Open due to a persistent back injury and now he’s announced his plans for future competitions.
Rather than work himself up for the upcoming French Open, Murray has opted to focus on getting fit again in time for Wimbledon. His mother, Judy, confirmed the news and explained, “Obviously the goal is to be in peak condition for Wimbledon.”
The extend of Murray’s injury is not totally known, yet, but Judy says that a scan will be done to find out what exactly is the problem and how to go about fixing it. Recently, on his 26th birthday, while playing a tied game with Spain’s Marcel Granollers, Murray was forced to quit due to the pain. “He needs to be cautious and I’m sure Wimbledon will be his priority,” said his mother.
