Tennis World React as Andy Murray makes Crucial change ahead of French Open in bid for fairytale finish

Andy Murray’s team have confirmed the Brit has made a change after testing new rackets ahead of his return to action this summer. He has made a speedy recovery from an ankle ligament injury and is due to play at the Bordeaux Challenger event next week.

Murray has also received a wildcard for the ATP 250 event in Geneva, which will begin on May 19. If everything goes well, the 36-year-old could be fit to participate in what could be his final French Open.
An ankle injury was initially due to keep Murray out for an “extended period” but he is set to return just two months after damaging two ligaments. The three-time Grand Slam champion has been keen to be fit for the French Open and the Wimbledon Championships.

In preparation for a busy summer, Murray has been testing different rackets during practice sessions. Tennis commentator Andrew Castle made the revelation in an interview with Tennis 365.
He said: “From what I hear he is practising with a different racket, he is still working with the different weights of the racket and different strings. He’s still trying to get 100 per cent out of everything.
“If he does call it quits this year, you just have to reflect on the most unbelievable career and hope that we all capitalise on it, which we probably won’t.”
