National Tourney: Andy Murray To Compete In First Match Since Nov. 2019

British professional tennis player, Andy Murray, will be hoping to compete in his first match since November when competitive action returns to England at the end of next month with a national tournament organised by his brother, Jamie.

AllNews understands that Murray’s last competitive outing was in the David Cup Finals last November and that competition was followed by complications with his hip.

He had returned to the practice courts shortly before the tour was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Details of the event in June, including venue and dates, are still to be confirmed though.

The Scot will have numerous options as he eases back into competition because the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) is also planning to host a series of British Tour events beginning a week later. More events are planned around the country but the LTA has chosen the outdoor hard courts of its National Tennis Centre in Roehampton for the sport’s return.

Having undergone hip resurfacing surgery at the start of the 2019 season, Murray made a return during the second half of the season and then put the icing on the cake by winning the European Open.

However, the three-time Grand Slam winner suffered a setback at the Davis Cup Finals in November 2019 and has not played any competitive tennis since then.

Murray, though, is back on the comeback trail and is determined to continue to climb up the rankings once the sport returns from its enforced break.
