Andy Murray bid farewell to the Miami Open on Sunday after a marathon match against Tomas Macchac (5-7, 7-5, 7-6) where he was physically affected.
There was concern about whether there was something serious about it and, unfortunately, it was. The former number 1 in the world confirmed that he suffered a major ankle injury which he hoped would keep him out for some time.
Murray said in an Instagram post that he has a “complete rupture” of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and a “near complete rupture” of the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL).
He revealed that he will consult with an ankle specialist to determine the next step. “Needless to say, it was a hard blow and I will be gone for a long time.. But I’ll be back with a hip and no ligaments in my ankle when the time comes” continued the Scot.
Murray, champion of the US Open in 2012 and Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016, has proven over the years to be an example of improvement and love for tennis.
He underwent hip surgery in 2019 and has been fighting to be competitive ever since. in the circuit. “Obviously I still love to compete and I still love the game, but obviously it’s harder and harder as you get older to compete with young people and keep your body healthy and fresh,” he said in an interview in court after a victory in Dubai last month.
“Maybe I don’t have much timebut I will do everything I can in the last few months” he concluded.
