Ya, but the second surgery is not with an eye towards getting back to court. I think it is simply to improve his quality of basic life.

When you win 3 slams, you can say that you are a champion.

But when Nadal considers you a friend, you can now say that you are friends with a legend.

When you worship another human being like this, you can now say that you are a nincompoop.

Probaby, but he has said that if it works, he's left open the option of playing for some time.

My issues with Murray is that he never really had a signature shot or even court personality to distinguish him; certainly no major crime but he was more like a surly mood Matt’s Wilander.

I thought his court personality did distinguish him. Surly. LOL. He has been a great returner. I think his BH is his best, but not as good as Novak's.

I would say his lob is probably his best weapon.

he pulled out of Marseille, Berdych'll replace him
he aslo pulled out of Montpellier, Shapo'll replace him

The latest intel is he's trying to decide what type of surgery to have. Commies say that he's asking the Bryan brother that had the hip surgery lots of questions. So whether he goes for a surgery to improve quality of life only, or to perhaps return to playing, remains to be seen.

Murray's best weapon is that he is a great pusher. He doesn't really finish points like a Nadal, Federer or Djokovic, he just pushes all the time waiting for the opponent's mistakes. He needed to be more offensive. Sure, being steady and patient is great, but you have to take your chances and go for it when it matters most. That's why Nadal is so great. All players should study Nadal and learn from him. And that was my tribute to Murray. B-):whistle:

I don't think that gets you 3 Majors, a YEC and 2 OG medals.

This is so funny...

 

[Nadalfan2013]

This is so funny...

Omg he pretended to not know the score of the 2012 US open final but he actually knew it by heart... It just shows how important and rare the win was. But the whole video is definitely funny, thanks for sharing.

 

[isabelle]

he underwent a 2nd surgery last monday, everything went well, hope he's not done for tennis

 

[King Roger]

On his Instagram, he’s posted a picture of himself in ahospital bed after he’s had another hip operation and claims to be playing on fr as long as possible. His ranking is now in the 800s, what’s the point!? He would be defeated by everyone, except Nadal who is garbage

[Andy22]

We never got to see Nadal vs. Murray in a grand slam final no way thats horrible could have federer and Djokovic let that happen just once talk about greedy oh well.

Murray's mother says former Wimbledon champ could play again

Andy Murray is currently recovering from his hip surgery, and his mother thinks the two-time Wimbledon champion still has a chance of making a return.

Murray announced last month at the Australian Open that he would compete in the season's first major but might never be able to play again. He lost in the first round in Melbourne and had hip resurfacing surgery about two weeks ago.

Judy Murray, Andy's mother and former coach, told The Associated Press that she doesn't think her son is done just yet.

"I don't think we know anything, for sure nobody does," Judy Murray said at the Rio Open, the biggest tennis tournament in South America. "But I know that he would do everything that he possibly can to give himself a chance to play again.


"I think he had the same operation as Bob Bryan after the U.S. Open, and he was playing doubles again, at Australian Open. But doubles is a very different physical proposition as singles. I think, right now, (we have to) wait and see."

When Andy Murray made his surprise announcement ahead of the Australian Open, he said he would at least like to keep playing until Wimbledon — the tournament he won in 2013 to become the first British male champion at the All England Club in 77 years.

Murray won the Wimbledon title again in 2016, as well as winning one U.S. Open title and two Olympic gold medals. He was also ranked No. 1 in the world for 41 weeks.

Judy Murray, speaking at the stylish Jockey Club after being invited to the ATP tournament, said she thinks her son is still struggling with the idea of never playing again. If he sees a chance to return, he will take it, she said.

"I think he will, (but) I think he's aware that it might not be possible," Judy Murray said. "He is a smart guy, he has a lot of interest in different things, he has a lot of options in life after tennis. But the most important thing is that he's free from the pain he's had for 20 months. He has a young family, you have to think about the quality of life for the rest of your life. Actually, that's the most important thing."

Andy Murray has said that "overtraining" during his younger years may have led to the recent operation that included removing the damaged bone and cartilage within his right hip socket and replacing it with a metal shell. Judy Murray was coaching both of her sons during those early years, but she didn't necessarily agree that too much practice was the reason.

"Well, not too much," Judy Murray said. "You learn from your mistakes, both with Jamie and Andy we were learning as we went along, because nobody had done it from Scotland before. So, there was nobody to follow, nobody to give us advice."

Still, she did quite a job coaching her boys. Besides Andy reaching No. 1 and winning Wimbledon, Jamie reached No. 1 in doubles and won a pair of mixed doubles titles at the All England Club, among others.

"They did amazing things," Judy Murray said. "Nobody could have ever having expected them to become No. 1 coming from a small town in the middle of Scotland."

The highest point in her memory, however, came in the Davis Cup. Britain was facing Australia in the semifinals, the best-of-five series was being played in Glasgow, and both of her sons were on the team.

"Andy played with Jamie, and we weren't sure if he's going to play the doubles, because of course he has to play singles on Friday and Sunday, and to play three matches in a row best of five sets is tough," Judy Murray said. "So we weren't sure until the last minute that he was going to play the doubles. And it was in Glasgow, in Scotland, where we live, where tennis is a very tiny sport, just 1 percent of the population plays tennis. Nobody would ever have expected us to have Grand Slam champions.

"So, I was seated in this venue, which is an Athletics Arena, so 9,000 people in Scotland, I watched Jamie and Andy walk out, with Leon Smith as a captain, who I started with as a coach when he was 20, so he's like my third son. I just look around and said, 'Whoa! Whoever would have believed we would have Davis Cup semifinal with Scottish players, Scottish captain and in Scotland.' So, for me it was the biggest moment, so many things coming together at the same time."

Another moment, possibly a final moment, could still be coming at Wimbledon.

Thank you very much for the information. I hope he does manage to play pro again & wish him all the best for a happy & healthy future (hopefully).
