- Former world No 1 injured in defeat at Miami Open
- ‘This is a tough one. I’ll be out for an extended period’
Andy Murray will be out for an “extended period” after rupturing his ankle ligaments during his Miami Open third-round defeat, an injury that could complicate his hopes of being fully fit and in form for one final Wimbledon before retiring at the end of the summer.
On Sunday, Murray suffered a dramatic 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (5) loss to Tomas Machac after 3 hours and 28 minutes. Murray had trailed 2-5 in the final set before hurting his ankle as he held serve for 5-5.
