British tennis star Andy Murray will be out for an extended period after suffering a serious ankle injury during his third-round defeat at the Miami Open.
The 36-year-old Murray lost 5-7 7-5 7-6 against Czech Republic’s Tomáš Macháč in the third round of the Miami Open on Sunday. He revealed the following day that he had suffered a full rupture of his anterior talofibular ligament and a near full thickness rupture of his calcaneofibular ligament towards the end of the match. “I will see an ankle specialist when I return home to determine next steps,” the former world No. 1 wrote on Instagram.
Murray would stay in the match, saving a match point and forcing a tie-break before losing in close to three-and-a-half hours. After the match, the three-time grand slam winner reflected on the possibility that he had played his last match at the tournament. “I’ve spent so much of my tennis career here and I would have liked it to have gone on a little bit longer,” he said.
