British tennis player, double Olympic champion Andy Murray reported that during a tournament in Miami (United States) he injured his ankle, which forced him to be out for a long time.
On Sunday, Murray lost to Czech Tomas Machac in the third round of the Masters in Miami. At the end of the third set, the 36-year-old Briton twisted his left ankle, but managed to continue playing.
— At the end of the game in Miami, I suffered a complete rupture of the anterior talofibular ligament and a rupture of the calcaneofibular ligament. When I return home, I will see an ankle specialist to determine my next steps. It’s a difficult ordeal, I’ve been away for a long time. But I will return with one hip and no ankle ligaments when the time comes,” Murray wrote on the social network.
Earlier, the tennis player announced that he might retire at the end of the summer.
Murray is the winner of three Grand Slam singles tournaments. The Briton occupies 62nd place in the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) rankings.
