The Scot was quick to deny the theory, though, suggesting that the injury occurred due to his mentality towards his body.
In case you didn’t know…
Despite being one of the best players of his generation, Murray has remained in the shadow of the Big 3. However, his hard work on and off the court has yielded three Grand Slams titles and an ascent to the top of the ATP Rankings in 2016.
Unfortunately, he was soon struck down by injury and eventually had to undergo hip resurfacing which kept him out of action for over a year.
The heart of the matter
There have been several theories regarding why Murray’s fall was so swift. As one of the most athletic players on tour, it seemed strange that his body would breakdown in the manner it did.
While many pundits suggested that the injury was the result of him pushing his body to the limits in order to try and compete with the Big 3, Murray himself dismissed this line of thought.
What’s next?
Murray has made a successful return to the ATP Tour following his hip surgery. He has already won a title since his comeback - at Antwerp - and will be looking to build on that heading into the 2020 season.
