World No. 16 Briton Andy Murray wrote on his page in Instagram a touching appeal.

It happened after he was forced to withdraw from the tournament in Brisbane due to the receipt of another injury, which for quite a long time prevents him from performing at a high level. Murray explained why he still can not properly return to the court.

"I decided to write to those who are interested in my state of health. Firstly, I apologize to the tournament in Brisbane for having to withdraw so late, and everyone who wanted to come see how I play (or lose). Organizers have reacted to my problems with greater understanding, and I will never forget it. Thank you. The problem with my hip is already a long time and added a lot of trouble. I consulted with many specialists, and I was recommended conservative treatment. After the US Open, I did everything I needed, and worked very hard to get back to the court. The training sets I played in Brisbane with the top players showed, alas, that the rehabilitation did not return me to the required level, so I will have to reconsider my prospects. You can, of course, continue to do what I'm doing, and just give the hip more time. You can do the operation, but the chances of a successful outcome are not as high as I would like, so I did not do it and so far I hope to avoid it. But perhaps it will not be possible.

I chose this photo myself as a child, because this little child in me just wants to play tennis and compete. I really really miss tennis and I'm ready for anything, just to get back to the court. Before this forced break, I did not realize how much I love this game. Every morning I wake up with the hope that, while I was sleeping, it's getting better, and every time I get very upset when I go out for training and I understand that the state is still not the same.

So far I'm staying in Australia - let's see, maybe I'll get better. Before the weekend I plan to decide whether to stay here or fly home and decide what to do next.

I apologize for such a long message - I just wanted you to know what is happening and what's on my mind, because it's very hard for me. I hope to see you soon on the court ". Interesting is the fact that earlier from these competitions the first racket of the world was shot - the Spaniard Rafael Nadal.
