Andy Murray said a delay in receiving the COVID-19 test result upon his return to Britain made him wait to seek treatment for a pelvic problem, but he was fit before the French Open, which begins on Sunday.
Murray reached the second round of the US Open this month in his first Grand Slam after hip surgery last year, but after developing a pelvic problem at Flushing Meadows, the 33-year-old had to wait a few days at home before to meet with your doctor. .
The BBC reported that a scan later showed that Murray had tendonitis of the psoas, a muscle that runs from the lower back to the upper leg.
“We had to get tested (COVID-19) when we got back from New York and tested negative before we could leave the house,” Murray was quoted as saying by the BBC on Friday.
“There was a little problem with my test. It took me five or six days to get back, so it was at my house and I couldn’t get it checked. “
Murray, a former world number one finalist at Roland Garros in 2016, said he has been practicing without discomfort ever since arriving in Paris for the final Grand Slam of the year.
“Once I started practicing on clay, it felt pretty good. I’ve been playing, I think, pretty good, ”said Murray, who received a wild card entry to the French Open.
“Usually it seems like it takes me quite a while to get used to the surface again, and it didn’t feel like three years and a bit since I last played on it. It was better than I expected. “
Murray will meet Stan Wawrinka in the first round in Paris.
