Britain’s tennis star Andy Murray is set to return to action
during the Geneva Open. The 36-year-old has struggled with fitness throughout his career, and because of this, he announced his retirement from the sport at the start of 2018.
However, Murray, after a lot of effort off the court, miraculously
returned to the court and is still playing at the highest level. The Glasgow-born has once again struggled with fitness concerns this season as well and has been out of action after suffering an ankle injury in late March. As per the
latest report, Murray is set to return to action in the Geneva Open. The competition,
which will be the last before the start of the French Open, will be played between
May 18 to 24 in Switzerland.
The former world number one is one of the most decorated British
men’s players in the history of tennis. He has won three Grand Slams in his
career. Two times, he won the major competition on home soil, whereas one he won
the US Open. That’s not it, as Murray has also won two Olympic gold medals for
his country. In 2012, he won the accolade after beating the former world number
one Roger Federer with a score of 6-2, 6-1, 6-4. Four years later, he won the Olympic gold medal again after beating Argentina’s Juan Martín del
Potro in the final with a score of 7–5, 4–6, 6–2, 7–5.
