Bjorkman tips Murray to soar
JONAS BJORKMAN believes Andy Murray will challenge the world’s top five when he makes his return to the singles court.
The Scot has refused to put a date on a possible comeback to singles competition.
Murray won the men’s doubles at Queen’s with Feliciano Lopez and made the second round at Wimbledon with Pierre-Hugues Herbert. And in the mixed doubles he reached the third round with Serena Williams.
Swede Bjorkman, the former world No.4 who coached Murray in 2015, said: “Andy can get back to the top-10 level. There is no doubt. With the calibre of player he is, if he is healthy, he is going to challenge the top five.
“Once a champion you are always a champion. He has had a problem with his hip for a long time but he can come back to that level and maybe play even better.”
