Murray out until end of season with injury
London, Sep 6 (IANS) Scot tennis star Andy Murray confirmed on Wednesday that he will not compete in the Beijing and Shanghai tournaments in October and will probably miss the rest of this season because of his recurring hip injury.
Murray, 30, withdrew from the US Open two days before its start and has not played since last July at Wimbledon, where he was eliminated by United States Sam Querrey in the quarter-finals, reports Efe.
“This is the best decision for my long-term future… I’m confident after this extended period of rest and rehabilitation that I will be able to reach my best level again and be competing for Grand Slam titles next season,” the world No.2 said on his Instagram account.
“I will be beginning my 2018 season in Brisbane in preparation for the Australian Open and I’m looking forward to playing in Glasgow later this year against Roger (Federer) for Unicef UK and Sunny-sid3up,” he added.
Murray finished last year as world No. 1 after winning the titles of Vienna Open, Paris Master and ATP World Tour Finals in the United Kingdom, but was replaced by Spain’s Rafael Nadal in August this year.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
