Andy Murray

Any tennis enthusiast has surely come across Andy Murray’s name. He is a former World No. 1 and a member of the Big 4- the name given to the most influential and strongest players in tennis. Murray has 46 ATP singles to his name.

However, Murray hasn’t always been lucky enough to be the biggest player in tennis, his recent years in the game have been plagued by injuries he can’t get rid of. In 2017, a hip injury forced him to take a hiatus from the sport. Since then, He has gotten two rounds of hip surgery and has resumed playing, but his ranking has fallen to No.134 as of 15 November 2021.

Following his return, Murray has been really ambitious to get his status back and regain the form he once had. He received a wildcard entry into the Australian Open 2022’s main draw after not playing at the tournament for 3 continuous years.
