Tim Henman says Andy Murray will ‘be pretty frustrated’ that the tennis season has been shut down amid the coronavirus pandemic, as he closed in on his latest injury comeback. Murray was targeting a return to competitive action at the Miami Open, which was scheduled to run from March 25 to April 5 before the Covid-19 crisis took a hold of the world. Both the clay-court season, which traditionally runs from early April until early June, and the British grass-court summer – including Wimbledon – have been wiped out by the virus along with the vast majority of sporting events around the globe.
All professional tennis has been suspended until July 13 – a date that may well be pushed back further – and former British No. 1 Henman believes Murray will be cursing his luck at the latest delay to his comeback from injury. (Text courtesy Metro)
