Andy Murray has admitted to being just one serious injury away from retirement as he bids for an improved showing in the Australian Open next month.
The three-time Grand Slam winner has been resurrected by the hip resurfacing surgery he had in 2019. The procedure involved attaching a metal cap to the ball in his hip and has helped the icon return full-time to the circuit.
And he'll be targeting an improved showing in the major events in 2023, having not been past the third round in a Slam in 2022. Murray also hasn't progressed further than round two in Melbourne since 2017, but insists he's currently in good shape despite being well aware of the implications of injury.
