Tennis: Scot Andy Murray has ruptured ligaments in his ankle, putting a final run at Roland Garros under serious threat.
Murray's season in doubt after rupture | 00:24All eyes will be on Rafael Nadal when the 14-time French Open champion begins what appears likely to be his final Roland Garros in an outing against German star Alexander Zverev on Monday in Paris .
Similarly to Nadal, three-time major champions Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka might well be on their final lap of the circuit and their meeting on Sunday night is nostalgic given their grand deeds on the court and against each other. But Tomljanovic, who plays surprise Australian Open semi finalist Dayana Yastremska in the first round in Paris on Sunday, is looking forward to the outing.“I definitely wish I could have had a few more matches coming in, but it’s also okay because, if you’re ready, you’re ready.
Thompson, who claimed an ATP Tour title in Los Cabos in February and peaked at a career-high ranking of 32, reached the third round at Roland Garros back in 2019. “ lefty, a tricky opponent and I’d say he likes the clay more than I do. It’s just going to be another tough slog on the clay.” The highlight is a nostalgic clash between three-time major champions Stan Wawrinka and Andy Murray, with the prospect this will also be their final French Open appearances.
Wawrinka, who has won an Australian Open , a French Open and a US Open , and was also a finalist in Paris in 2017, is the superior clay court player. But the 39-year-old, who peaked at No.3 in 2014, would not argue the Scot has had the superior career. Murray leads their head-to-head 13-9 going into their final duel on clay. While overshadowed by the other big rivalries, it has been a ripper in its own right.Roland Garros is not just the domain of the greats this year and there is intrigue surrounding the fitness of young sensations Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
“What I remember is the told me that this is not going to be serious, it’s not going to take too much time, but here we are recovering,” he said.
