Three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray is gearing up for a comeback as he secures a wildcard entry for the Geneva Open in Switzerland, commencing on 18 May. The 36-year-old Briton sustained an ankle ligament rupture at the Miami Open in late March, sidelining him for weeks.
Opting against surgery to expedite his recovery, Murray aims to make a splash at upcoming major events, including the French Open, Wimbledon, and the Olympics in Paris. Despite nearing the end of his illustrious career, with plans not to extend much beyond this summer, the Scot is determined to grace another Olympic stage before hanging up his racket.
With the French Open starting on 26 May, Wimbledon on 1 July (where Murray has previously triumphed twice), and the Olympics scheduled from 26 July, Murray’s return brings anticipation and excitement to the tennis world. The US Open in New York, marking the final Grand Slam of the season, kicks off on 26 August, presenting another opportunity for Murray to leave his mark.
