"He is one of the toughest opponents out there, he never gives in": Robson believes Murray success is 'inevitible' despite Canadian Open setback

Laura
Robson commented on Andy Murray's injury that forced him to withdraw from the
Canadian Open just before his match against Jannik Sinner.
The former
world No. 1 was having a promising run in Toronto, but a recurrence of his
abdominal injury that had previously affected him before Wimbledon led him to
make the decision to withdraw from the Canadian tournament.
Murray
explained to his fans that the injury is not something serious and that he
withdrew from the tournament as a precautionary measure:
“I had a
very similar issue last year in the tournament in Stuttgart before Wimbledon
which forced me to miss the Queen’s Club tournament and I was able to play
Wimbledon,” Murray said.
“It took me
about 10 to 12 days before I was feeling good again,”
“This is
not as bad as that but obviously the danger if you compete and play on it is
you make it worse,” he added.
“So, I’ll
need to see how it develops over the coming days and hopefully feel better in a
few days. I’m really sorry.”
Commentator
and former tennis player Laura Robson referred to Murray's issues and stated
that the 3-time Grand Slam champion is ready for the upcoming challenges and to
compete against the best players in the world.
“He is
playing so consistently now, playing week-in, week-out. The more matches he can
play the better,” Robson said.
“He is one
of the toughest opponents out there, he never gives in and he is great at
working out matches as he goes."
“This is
what he has been striving for in the last few years since his return. He is
very much back up there again," she added.
“You
thought maybe he was going to do it at Wimbledon, but it seems inevitable that
it will happen at some point.
“The fact
that he is still loving it as much as he does is a positive sign and for all
the young lads coming up to see someone who has won as much as he has still
competing as well as he did 15 years ago, that’s inspiring,” Robson concluded.

- You seem to have 'lost the plot' ??
- This needs to be done, and I think Jessica Pegula is an excellent choice for chair to look into the situation. However, a very brief look at the other members of the panel would suggest a very USA heavy contingent. The group needs to represent all interests, not just turn it into a way the US can screw more money out of an already biased calendar.
- The tennis world should be kissing her feet for taking-on this long needed position in a much needed council. The WTA and ATP need a good shaking-up. Pegula's business heritage is a proven one. Let's hope she and her colleagues can stop WTA & ATP from shutting their work down and out. GO GET 'EM !!
- So the Sportswasher's largest market is... the Filipino community? That's all well and good but the hundreds and hundreds of empty seats throughout is embarrassing. Talk about bad optics!
- The poor Head Sportswasher has been whining and crying in the media, and basically threatening Saba, Iga, etc. Must be a real Ego Buster when they dangle money and people (especially Women) say, 'No thanks'.
- "Losing-itis" is not uncommon in Emma's small world. Just keeps begging the question, 'What are sponsors paying for? Limited tennis appearances... or Social Selfie Media presence?'
- Dubai can suck it up like everyone else. Just because they think they run the show, they do not. Sportswashing does not give them Power.
- You're losing your mind here.. You use a lot of space, yet inadequate knowledge. Read the WTA Rule Book 2026; it answers all your questions and accusations.
- Why single out Iga and Aryna to punish?, Since when do players get punish because they withdraw from tournaments? Maybe if they both were treated like number one and two players, they would not have this problem. The WTA discriminates against them because of their nationalities, yet they want to make money off them. Every tournament, Iga has harder draws than qualifiers from the beginning to the end. In the Australian Open they stuck Aryna out in the sun the majority of her matches in order to tire her out. She is the number one player in the world and she never got the opportunity to play with the roof closed. If they want these top players to continue playing and making money for them, then they should treat them as such. Otherwise, get the players who they are always giving out cupcake draws to like Pegula to play their tournaments. Lets see how many seats in the audience she will fill. Iga has more fans in the seats than any player in the WTA, yet she is always disrespected and mistreated because of her nationality. The WTA is a corrupt, bias and racist organization. No matter what job someone is on, you cannot tell them that they are not sick or injured.
- LOL. Billie Jean King hates being a woman.
