BRITISH TENNIS STAR, ANDY MURRAY UNDERGOES HIP RESURFACING SURGERY TO SAVE HIS CAREER
Read Time:53 Second
British tennis player, Andy Murray has undergone hip resurfacing surgery plunging his chances of competing at Wimbledon into serious doubt.
Earlier in January, the British tennis star announced plans to step away from tennis in 2019 after failing to overcome a chronic hip problem which has troubled him for nearly two years.
But speaking after his first-round exit at the Australian Open days later, Murray explained that a successful hip operation could save his career.
The 31-year-old said that he could delay surgery and appear at the All England Club for a final time later this year, or opt for a hip resurfacing operation and hope for a positive outcome.
“I underwent a hip resurfacing surgery in London yesterday morning,” the Scot posted on Instagram on Tuesday.
American doubles champion Bob Bryan successfully returned to the court five months after having the same surgery, meaning Murray’s hopes of competing at Wimbledon in July this year hang by a thread.
But there is no guarantee Murray will even return to the professional game.
