Emotional Murray on the ropes as hip pain resurfaces

- Tennis

Three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray has broken down in an Australian Open press conference, saying the Grand Slam at Melbourne Park may be his last tournament.

The 31-year-old Scottish star said he’d hoped to be able to get to Wimbledon but his body may not allow him to last that long without another operation.

Murray has been battling injuries over the last few seasons and said he’s been struggling for a long time.

After barely surviving a practice session with Novak Djokovic on Thursday, Murray had to be excused early in his interview when he broke down in tears when asked about his fitness.
