Dubai Open 2023: Andy Murray pulls out of Dubai due to recurring hip injury
However, he got his career back on track after another operation and stormed into his fourth ATP final since returning to the tour at last week’s Qatar Open where he was beaten by Daniil Medvedev.
“We regret to inform you that Andy Murray is unable to participate in this year’s tournament,” Dubai organisers said in a post on Twitter. “Andy has been dealing with a recurring hip injury that has unfortunately forced him out of Dubai.”
Murray said after his defeat by Medvedev that he would have to manage his body better, especially after physically demanding matches.
“At my age and with some of the issues that I’ve got, I do have to be mindful of those things. I cannot just keep going until something happens,” Murray said.
“I need to be a bit smarter with that.” Murray’s pullout from Dubai comes a day after fellow Briton Emma Raducanu, the 2021 U.S. Open champion, withdrew from the Austin Open in Texas due to tonsillitis.
