Murray said. “I know most likely I’m going to lose in the first round here.

Murray admitted he would find it difficult to stop playing the game.
He said: “I love tennis. I’d been in pain for quite a long time but was managing it and was able to play, so I was thinking ‘If my hip gets better and improves I’ll be able to go back to competing’. But it didn’t get to that point.” Meanwhile, Andy’s brother Jamie brought some cheer to his family by winning his 23rd career men’s doubles title at the Sydney International with Bruno Soares.
