Andy Murray is set to make his return to tennis this month with a wildcard entry at the Gonet Geneva Open, starting on May 18. The Swiss tournament confirmed the wildcard, although there has been no official statement from Murray or his team yet.
Murray has been sidelined since late March after rupturing ligaments in his ankle during a match against Tomas Machac. Despite the injury, Murray finished the match before announcing that he would need to see a specialist for further evaluation.
The news of Murray’s wildcard entry has sparked excitement among fans, with hopes that he will be fit to compete at the French Open and Wimbledon later this year. The former world No. 1 has previously hinted that he may retire from tennis after this summer, making his return even more significant.
By participating in the Geneva Open, Murray will be able to assess his physical condition and readiness for the upcoming tournaments. He is also expected to partner with Dan Evans in the doubles event at Roland Garros as part of his preparation for the Olympics in July.
Murray’s decision to play in Geneva and potentially at the Surbiton ATP Challenger event demonstrates his determination to get back on the court and compete at the highest level. Fans will be eagerly watching his progress as he aims to make a successful comeback to the sport he loves.
