Andy Murray will not participate in next week’s Davis Cup finals in Malaga because he injured his shoulder. He expressed his disappointment at not being able to join the squad, but he is now fully focused on his rehabilitation and preparing for the upcoming season.
Andy Murray will not be participating in the Davis Cup finals in Malaga next week because of a shoulder injury.
It was announced this week that the former Wimbledon champion suffered a minor shoulder injury. As a result, he won’t be able to play for Great Britain in their quarter-final match against Serbia on Thursday.
A statement released by Murray on X (formerly Twitter) read: “I’ve picked up a minor shoulder injury, which means I won’t be able to take part in the Davis Cup.
“I’m gutted not to be a part of the squad, but my focus is now on rehab and getting ready for the new season.”
The LTA added on X: “Gutted for Andy Murray, who won’t be playing at the Davis Cup finals. Hope to see you back on court soon, Andy.”
The injury has ended Murray’s season, and he will now focus on rehabbing before returning in 2024. The Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of the year, begins on January 14.
He is not the first to withdraw from the Davis Cup squad of Great Britain. Dan Evans also pulled out due to a calf injury. This leaves Cam Norrie, Jack Draper, Neal Skupski, and Joe Salisbury as the remaining team members to face Serbia.
Murray’s injury means he won’t be able to play against Novak Djokovic, who will represent Serbia in the quarterfinal match. Djokovic, the world No. 1, is currently participating in the ATP Tour finals in Turin.
