Wimbledon has started, running through to the 16th where Andy Murray will once again hope to be in with a chance of claiming a hat trick of Wimbledon wins under his belt – despite a troublesome hip injury putting a threat to his chances of Wimbledon glory once again.
Murray said he was feeling “good” after practising three times on Friday June 30th, as he recovers from a hip injury which saw him pull out of his final Wimbledon warm-up match.
Murray, 30, has been suffering from his hip problem due to possible twisting and flexing of the hip on a relatively constant basis during his career, intense training from a young age making him become one of the world’s best – does unfortunately take it’s toll with injuries to the body.
It’s not uncommon for amateur/younger tennis players to be affected by these types of hip problems either, but the good news is you can manage your injuries to a certain degree if one of your hobbies happens to be a game of Tennis down your local club.
Trying out different surfaces such as clay/grass/concrete (depending on the courts on offer at your preferred playing spot) can also be helpful, this can help avoid muscles imbalances that might develop if you were to stay on one surface.
