Andy Murray challenged to match Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal success
GETTY Andy Murray has been challenged to come back better from his injury
Murray is out for the rest of the season with a hip injury. The former World No 1 enjoyed a stellar 2016 campaign as both Nadal and Federer took time out with injuries, while Novak Djokovic struggled with his fitness. The tables have since turned, with Nadal and Federer claiming two majors apiece this year while Murray’s injury woes have ended his season early. But former British No 1 Greg Rusedski reckons Murray can take heart from the resurgence of his elders Nadal and Federer and use their comebacks as a marker for his own return to the court.

“Andy is one of the most professional British tennis players we have ever produced,” Rusedski told Metro. “He’s accomplished so many wonderful things in getting to world No 1, winning multiple slams and two gold medals, which is incredible. “Now it’s about Andy being healthy. The minute he is healthy, that will allow him to get back winning and that is the key to his future success. “Roger and Rafa took the time out, they got healthy and they’re still achieving great things. I’m sure he can do the same.”
