Murray Coming Back ‘Soon’

Former World No. 1 Andy Murray says he’ll be back “Soon.. Very soon” and that rehab on his hip is going “Really well.. Much better than I expected so far”.

The five-time Australian Open finalist was recently suffering from jet lag after his aborted trip Down Under and hosted a Twitter Q&A, #AskAndy.

I’m the only up with #jetlag anyone got a question for me? #askandy

The Scot received a fair number of non-tennis questions, such as “Will there ever be a boy born who can swim faster than a shark?” To which the witty Brit Murray responded, “I don’t know.. But if I crash land in a jungle will I be able to eat my own shoe?”

But Murray also entertained some tennis questions, including a couple about his right hip. He underwent surgery on 8 January in Melbourne after planning on competing in the 2018 Australian Open.

The 30-year-old has not played a match since 12 July at 2017 Wimbledon, where he lost to Sam Querrey of the U.S. in the quarter-finals. To be fair, Murray did say, “Soon. Very soon,” with a wink.

Soon.. Very soon?

He watches what he eats while enduring rehab in London. Murray said he enjoys “pancakes and Nutella for breakfast but I’m good the rest of the day.” He’s also spending a lot more time with his mum, Judy Murray, which seems to be going OK.

No.. It’s much more than it seems

And Murray made a very important announcement about Rafael Nadal’s fashion.

Sleeveless is better..
