Murray Remains Dangerous Floater At Wimbledon

London
Andy Murray knows his way around the All England Club better than any player in Friday’s Wimbledon draw and while his career highlights may be behind him there will be plenty of seeds hoping to avoid the British favourite.
The 36-year-old former world number one, who plays with a partly metal hip after resurfacing surgery in 2019, has steadfastly refused to call time on his illustrious career. He simply loves competing, especially on grass, and back-to-back titles at Surbiton and Nottingham after skipping the French Open illustrated that the hunger still burns intensely.
Those two title were on the Challenger Tour and a first-round exit against Alex de Minaur at Queen’s Club last week perhaps offered a dose of perspective for those predicting that Murray could perhaps challenge for a third Wimbledon title. But after a week of rest, Murray will start his 15th Wimbledon confident of making a run if the draw is kind.
Despite climbing back to 39th in the ATP rankings, Murray will miss out on a seeding at Wimbledon but, barring being pitched against defending champion Novak Djokovic in the opening round, he believes he can give any player a run for their money. I feel I can beat most of the top seeds in the Wimbledon tournament because there are a lot of them that don’t feel comfortable on grass, Murray said after his Queen’s exit.
