John McEnroe backs Andy Murray to win shock third Wimbledon title despite injury hell

Andy Murray has been spectacularly backed to win Wimbledon for the third time in his career by tennis legend John McEnroe.

Murray is set to compete in the singles at Wimbledon for just the second time since his hip surgery in January 2019. Murray is eyeing a deep run at the Championships, his home grand slam which he emerged victorious at on two occasions in 2013 and 2016.

Six years after he won his second Wimbledon title, Murray is back at the All England Club on the brink of remarkably re-entering the world’s top 50, despite having a metal hip while trying to shake off a minor abdominal injury. He picked up the issue at the recent Stuttgart Open, and there are fears his play could decline as a result.
