Andy Murray has won the 2019 ATP Comeback Player of the Year award after a brilliant return to the tour this year which was capped off with his victory in Antwerp.

Murray was voted in this award by fellow players as the individual who has overcome injury and made a full return to the tour from there.

"Thanks so much to all the players who voted! ??" Murray posted on Instagram. "Was a tricky couple of years and I appreciate all of your support.. See you in the new year ?"

This came after he missed the second half of the 2017 season and then most of the 2018 season due to chronic hip problems and this time last year he was questioning retirement.

Despite that he came back successfully and goes into 2020 hoping to continue his comeback story further.
