And then I came to New York pretty early and went to one of the hospitals here and spoke to the radiologist from back home. I had a small tear which is healing. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018And the last five or six days of practice have been really good, I have not had any issues serving. It is just that you don\u2019t take a week off from serving then go full into it. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/metro-parent\/img\/fallback.png\"><\/p>\n<p>\u2018You need to build up a little bit. It has not been perfect in that sense but my ab has been okay.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Murray, currently ranked world No.37, has also slammed Grand Slam organisers over scheduling and took aim at those telling him to \u2018shut up and get on with it\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Generally it\u2019s just not good for anyone,\u2019 Murray responded to a question about late-night finishes at the major tournaments.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/metro-parent\/img\/fallback.png\"><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Often when the players complain about that stuff, you sort of hear \u2018Oh, shut up and get on with it. Try working in a warehouse from nine to five\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I do get that. I know I\u2019m fortunate to be playing tennis. It\u2019s just that tennis is also partly entertainment. I don\u2019t think it helps the sport much when you\u2019re playing at 4am. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Everyone\u2019s leaving because they have to go and get public transport home and you finish a match like that in front of 10 per cent of the crowd. You don\u2019t see it in other sports so it\u2019s clearly wrong.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Andy Murray&#039;s Top 10 Points at the US Open\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9X0dxhptbw4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u2018And the reason for it is purely financial. It\u2019s not because the people that are running the events believe that it\u2019s good for the sport. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018They could solve it. If they want to start at 7.30pm, playing two women\u2019s matches is fine. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Or if they want to play a men\u2019s match, then you can only play one match unless you\u2019re going to start sooner.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018At Wimbledon, they obviously need to change the start times of the matches [from this year\u2019s 1.30pm] and move it sooner. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Stop having the 20-minute breaks between the matches. It might still happen [that matches run late] from time to time but you\u2019re doing the best that you can to avoid it. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018And I think that then becomes fair on the players because you can\u2019t really expect someone to recover if you finish your match at 4.30am.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2023\/08\/27\/andy-murray-provides-key-injury-update-ahead-of-first-us-open-match-19403756\/?ico=zone-widget_home_sport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andy Murray has provided an injury update ahead of his opening match at the 2023 US Open as he faces world No.72 Corentin Moutet on Tuesday.
