Andy Murray faces anxious wait as fears grow over Scot's comeback from injury

With only 11 days to go before the start of Andy Murray’s planned comeback tournament in Brisbane, concerns are growing that he is behind schedule in his preparation, because of lingering problems with his damaged right hip.

Murray has not broken down physically, and is understood to be continuing his training schedule with Jamie Delgado, his coach, at the All England Club’s facilities in Wimbledon and Raynes Park.

However, it is a surprise – and a worrying one, for British tennis fans – that he is in the UK at all.

Andy Murray back in practice

Andy Murray back in practice

Andy Murray is back hitting balls again at the All England Club, sources have confirmed, after a four-week period of rest and rehabilitation in the wake of his failed attempt to participate in the US Open.

The practices are not understood to be too intense at the moment, but there is a date in mind: Nov 7, when Murray is due to face Roger Federer in an exhibition match – Andy Murray Live – at Glasgow’s SSE Hyrdo.

Normally, such an unofficial showcase would be a bit of a hit-and-giggle, with both players trying to set each other up for eye-catching shots. Yet this is likely to be different - a telling moment for Murray, who has not played on the ATP tour since he broke down physically in his Wimbledon quarter-final against Sam Querrey.

Sampras says Nole and Murray will get back to top in 2018

Pete Sampras has backed Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic to return in 2018 and challenge for the major titles despite struggling in 2017.

The Scot took over the world number one ranking from Djokovic after a blistering run of form that saw him win five titles in a row at the end of last year. But he was unable to maintain that form coming into the new season.

Murray won just one title this year at the Dubai Open and struggled for form in the other events. He lost in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon after struggling with a hip injury and has since indicated that he will not play again in 2017.

Andy Murray likely to miss rest of season due to hip injury

After many weeks of indecision, Andy Murray has opted not to undergo surgery on his damaged right hip, but to keep hoping that an extended period of rest and rehabilitation will solve the problem.

As a result, he says he is unlikely to play again this season. A statement released on Wednesday held out the faintest of hope that he could return to play in an indoor event before Christmas – but this sounded more like wishful thinking than a realistic plan.

Rafael Nadal hinted at annoyance with the timing of Andy Murray's withdrawal from the US Open, describing it as "difficult to understand".

The world number two had looked set to play in New York having practised at Flushing Meadows for a week only to decide after a final hit on Saturday lunchtime that his hip was too sore.

Had Murray pulled out prior to Friday's draw, Roger Federer would have moved up to number two seed and he and Nadal would not have been in the same half of the draw.

"Did pretty much everything that I could to get myself ready here and took a number of weeks off after Wimbledon. I obviously spoke to a lot of hip specialists.

"Was actually practicing OK the last few days," he added, "but it's too sore for me to win the tournament. And ultimately, that's what I was here to try and do."
