Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has practised on court for the first
time since his back surgery in September.
The world number four published a photograph on his official Facebook
page with a caption that read: “Sun is shining, back on the courts.”
The 26-year-old has not played since helping Great Britain’s Davis Cup
team defeat Croatia to book their spot in the World Group two months
ago.
He has yet to decide whether to compete in January’s Australian Open.
The Scot has finished as runner-up three times in Melbourne, losing
the 2013 final in four sets to Serb, and current world number two,
Novak Djokovic.
Murray’s lingering back problem forced him to withdraw from the French
Open in May, but he recovered to become the first Briton to win the
Wimbledon men’s singles title since Fred Perry in 1936.
In September, his defence of his US Open title ended in the
quarter-finals, but he went on to enjoy success with his GB Davis Cup
team-mates, who secured their place in the 2014 World Group.
Murray then underwent surgery and missed the recent ATP World Tour
Finals in London as he recovered. – BBC Sport
