Murray says he will ālikely not play past this summerā, aims to finish at Wimbledon or Olympics
Andy Murray will not have surgery on an ankle injury he suffered last month, but a return date is still not known.
The 36-year-old ruptured his ankle ligament in a third-round defeat to Tomas Machac at the Miami Open on March 24.
Murray fell to the floor in pain, but he was able to finish the match after receiving on-court treatment.
A spokesperson from Murray’s team confirmed on Monday that his rehabilitation “is going well”.
The spokesperson said: “Latest update from Andy is that he is now out of the walking boot and will not be having surgery on his ankle,
“His rehab is going well and he is hoping to start hitting again on court soon. As yet he doesn’t have a date yet for returning to competition.”
The Olympic Games, which Murray also said he would like to compete in, starts in Paris on July 26.
