There’s more bad news coming from the Andy Murray camp as he is now said to miss the 2020 Miami Masters in March.
Murray, who had come back from a hip surgery which had threatened to end his career at one stage, went on to win the European Open title last season to signal his return to the big stage.
However, injuries have now laid the Brit low since that European Open win and he is yet to participate in any ATP competitions since then. He did play a match at the Davis Cup, winning his opener but hasn’t taken to court since then because of a variety of injuries.

A groin injury ended his Davis Cup campaign and that was followed by issues to his hip yet again. He missed featuring in any season-openers, and then withdrew from the Australian Open as well before opting out of the indoor tournaments in Montpellier and Rotterdam.
And following the Miami Open which Murray is now expected to miss, there is every possibility he wouldn’t want to aggravate his fitness issues on clay. This has led to speculations Murray might next be seen on court in the lead-up to Wimbledon during the grass swing.
