Andy Murray has admitted that he is looking forward to giving his best in the few months he has on the court. The British star who hinted at retirement in Dubai fell to an excruciating defeat against Tomas Machac in the Miami Open.

What began as a difficult season for Murray seems to be ending, despite recent good results. The 36-year-old had to wait until February to earn his first win of the season but suffered a knee pain in the next match. Injuries that have pampered the British legend from dominating the cause became his major sting in Miami again.

With four wins in his last eleven games, Murray had begun his Miami Open campaign in great shape. He defeated Matteo Berrettini in the first round and pulled out a convincing performance against Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the second round to earn his first top-30 win of the season. However, against Machac in the third round, the British player produced a fine performance but when it was 5-5 in the third set, he twisted his ankle.

He later succumbed to 5-7, 7-5, 7-6(5) defeat. Speaking during his press conference, the World No.60 said he is looking forward to his last days on the court.

I've spent so much of my tennis career here and I would have liked it to have gone on a little bit longer. This tournament particularly for me is an important one so it was a bit more emotional leaving the court today than it might be at some of the other events. I am looking forward to the end now, give my best the next few months and get to be at home with my family.
Murray said

Meanwhile, the former World No.1 is yet to reveal the enormity of the ankle twist, as fans are hoping he competes at the Monte Carlo which starts on April 6.

Andy Murray’s injury crisis is back

Andy Murray is one player in the new era who has suffered the most injuries after Rafael Nadal. The British fought and had to win three Grand Slam titles, but could have won more if not for his close relation with injuries.

In 2017, he sustained his first major hip injury that saw him sidelined for most of 2017 and 2018. The hip injury has gotten worse over time and has seen him miss major tournaments.

In 2011, just two years before his famous Wimbledon win, he suffered a back injury that led to a disc problem. For most of that season, the Briton struggled to perform. But the major setback came the following year after suffering a knee problem that forced him to miss the Canada Open.
