Andy Murray suffered a career threatening hip injury in 2017, and despite recovering from the injury, he has never quite been able to reach his top form. The Briton plays selective tournaments, and no longer reaches the latter stages of the tournaments. However, Andy Murray stressed on the importance of being reasonable with his expectations, given his struggles with a hip injury.

Andy Murray said that the positive thing is that he is improving his serve, but at the same time, there is no real consistency. “The positive thing is that I moved well and served well but my level is up and down with no real consistency,” said Murray.

“There are moments in matches where I play well and then I make mistakes or miss returns. I wish I wasn’t doing that. My level is around 50 or 60 in the world. It’s frustrating because if wasn’t moving great and not feeling good physically then I would be a bit easier on myself,” he added.

Andy Murray last played at the Winston-Salem Open, where he was defeated in the second round by Frances Tiafoe. He will now compete at US Open 2021, which commences from next week at the Flushing Meadows.
