Voice | Britain's Andy Murray withdrew from the Australian Open

Voice | Britain's Andy Murray withdrew from the Australian Open

In the early hours of this morning, five-time Australian Open runner-up Andy Murray announced that he would not travel to Melbourne this year to compete for the 2021 Australian Open. Previously, Britons were quarantined in their homes because they tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

Due to melbourne's anti-epidemic measures, the organizers of the event could not find a suitable solution for Andy Murray, nor could they allow him to complete the quarantine before the start of the competition. Previously, Murray withdrew from the Dre Beach race at the beginning of the season and recently had to miss his original trip to Melbourne due to a positive test for the new coronavirus.

Now the three-time Grand Slam champion says he's feeling good, but he's still disappointed not to be able to play in the next tournament. The 33-year-old Englander has played just seven games in 2020, missed out on the early months of last year's season due to his injury, and he hasn't been able to find his own pace after Cincinnati. Murray is now ranked 123rd in the world, and his most recent tour top was at the ATP 250 in Antwerp in October 2019, his first title since Dubai in 2017, and it was this title that took him a big step into the top 100. But a few weeks later, Andy was injured again in Madrid.

Skipping the Australian Open this time, Murray also helplessly said: "It is very sad to tell everyone that I will not go to Australia to participate in the Australian Open. I was in constant communication with the organizers of the event, trying to find a good, viable solution to the isolation, but we didn't find it in the end. ”
