Britain's Andy Murray pulls out of next month's Australian Open because of a pelvic injury.

Fucksake. This guy's never ending bad fortune with injury continues.

 

[Chokehater]

Was he ever in the Entry List?

 

[MatthewPup]

Weird that he was good enough to win best comeback player but now he has an injury...

 

[Servebots=GOAT]

Damn I feel awful for him, the last few years have just been terrible for him. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious.

 

[chilazon]

This is the new normal for Andy unless he can change his style to be more aggressive and probably needs to lose some weight to take strain off his lower body.

 

[bighax]

Oh well. At least he's managed to win the Comeback King Award before going down again.

 

[Cloren]

His time might be up soon. Still admirable the effort he is putting in to extend his career but I wonder if the pain is really worth it, he already has achieved all he needed to in tennis.

 

[scriabina]

Wow, that's rather pathetic... I feel bad for him.
It is really ironic he's out right after winning Best Comeback award, as others above have mentioned.
Can he really come back in February even?

 

[monfed]

Will he retire once again?

 

[DjokoKing]

Will he retire once again?

It would be fitting a year after he announced his retirement for the first time, he announces it again at the same tournament.

This is correct.

Even when Murray came back he was still slogging away for three hours in a three set match....

If he can come back he will have to adapt serve and volley and do half volleys from the baseline and be way more aggressive.

The problem is I don't think he can do that.

 

[Mae]

I really hate to hear of yet another injury. I'm afraid Andy has pushed his body about as far as he can.

 

[chilazon]

Maybe he can win the Comeback Player of the Year award again in 2020. No one has won it more than twice so he can then go for the record the year after. ?

Delpo might have a thing to say about it though given he's already sitting on 2 and coming back this year.

 

[cmchelsea]

Was he ever in the Entry List?

Yeah he was in the EL. I don't think this is too serious, but I think he's made the correct decision here. I don't blame him for being cautious given the past injuries he's had. He's entered Montpellier and Rotterdam for Feb so it's probably a good idea to start back then rather than Bo5 anyway.

 

[just1ce]

I feel bad for Murray.Yeah he showed great fighting spirit last year,but...Is it worth?After such a surgery it is very dangerous and imho it would be better for him to hang his racket instead of continue to destroy his body,idk

 

[RocketMan70]

Sorry to hear that, but he has been struggling with this injury.
Hopefully Andy is ok to come back in February.

 

[Moozza]

This sucks big time. Sucks for the sport, sucks for me but most of all, it sucks for The King himself.

 

[Lucas_4ever]

Yeah he was in the EL.

Wrong.
Murray was never in the entry list for AO. He would need a WC to get in since he had already used PR for entry last year (can't use it at the same tournament twice) and didn't enter Q draw either.

He said in his presser that he was gutted not to be playing, so obviously he was planning on playing.

Also as a 5 time finalist and former world no1 I dont think receiving a WC would've been an issue.

I never said WC would have been an issue. I reacted specifically to your assertion he was in the entry list -- he wasn't. Technically, he never entered the 2020 Australian Open in any capacity so, formally, we can't even say he has withdrawn.
