Previous world number one Andy Murray can come back to the highest point of the game regardless of the hip damage that constrained him to haul out of the Australian Open this week as long as his psyche is eager, as per tennis incredible Mats Wilander. Three-times fabulous hammer champion Murray has not played a focused match since losing a Wimbledon quarter-last to American Sam Querrey in July and may require surgery to cure an issue that debilitates his profession.
In any case, seven-times significant champ Wilander accepts if the Scot sets his psyche on it, he can conquer the physical fight that anticipates throughout the following couple of vital months. “Of course he can (come back),” Swede Wilander, who will have his famous ‘Game, Set and Mats’ show for Eurosport amid the Australian Open, told Reuters by phone.
“Have the surgery and see how things go. He’s a hard enough worker and so talented that I don’t think it’s a problem for him to come back as long as his mind wants him to come back.
“That’s the thing you never really know when you have a surgery and take time off.”
Murray, who has slipped to sixteenth in the world from number one in September, has combat once more from damage previously, most outstandingly when he required some investment off for bring down back surgery in 2013. He came back to play some of his best tennis, winning a moment Wimbledon crown in 2016, gold at the Rio Olympics and moving to the highest point of the ATP rankings.
That learning will drive him on once more, Wilander said. “With Murray I think he draw on past experiences and look at how after he had his back surgery he came back and was a better player and got to number one in the world,” he said.
“If he can get himself 100 percent fit he can come back with no pressure because he already has three slams and it won’t be about rankings then, just getting back to a level where he can challenge for big titles.”
Novak Djokovic (elbow) and Rafael Nadal (knee) are both engaging for full wellness in front of the Australian Open while Stan Wawrinka, another 30 something, is coming back from knee damage, as Roger Federer did a year ago in dazzling style.
“It’s not necessarily an age thing but it’s more about miles on the clock,” Wilander said.
Murray, 30, is yet to choose whether or not he needs surgery, despite the fact that he implied a week ago that it might his lone choice following a six-month recovery neglected to cure the issue.
