That would be one of the greatest stories in the Open era if that happens. The likelihood is hovering around .000001% however.Muzzard will win the channel slam in 2020
He's trying to come back for sure. Playing some doubles, with plans to come back to singles by the end of the year.
Andy Roddick was on a podcast during Wimbledon and he was talking about a potential Murray comeback. He said that he believed Murray needs to shed 15 pounds and stop the incessant training. He thinks he's way too "muscle bound" and that such a build isn't necessary in tennis and is, in fact, deleterious. He thinks a lithe version of Andy would succeed, not the Hulk version of the last several years.
Imagine Murray winning AO on his first ever singles return
I don't think I'd come back down to earth for several months (if ever) should that glorious day ever occur!!!
Beating Djokovic in the final too you'll probably take a year vacation lol
No offense to Andy, but he also has a track record of clearly not knowing what's best for him physically.Cripes, Murray has lost enough muscle mass as it is and Rodders wants him to lose more???
Murray himself said that he needs to get physically stronger if he is to make a successful return to singles!

Admitting that he was having hip pain years ago but continued to play through it, pushing himself harder than ever in fact. Not stopping until that Wimbledon where he couldn't even walk anymore.What makes you say that?
Borg was physically a brute and never lost a match due to conditioning and had the perfect tennis body.Cripes, Murray has lost enough muscle mass as it is and Rodders wants him to lose more???

Then continuing to try to comeback while avoiding surgery when he clearly couldn't handle it in 2018, up through to this year's Australian.

Murray bulking up his upper body (according to Roddick) was a mistake and never helped his tennis. The strain of carrying around 200 pounds of mostly muscle on a tennis court contributed to placing a strain on Andy's hip. Again, just quoting A-Rod. Borg weighed 155 pounds, so did Connors and McEnroe.

It would be awkward if he played singles at AO after they pretty much gave him a retirement ceremony this year.
Can we expect a full return and when or is that wishful thinking
Tennis needs him badly to fill the 4th spot and challenge Djoker and Nadal
he will be challenging guys like steve Johnson, john isner, and Goffin.....Come back as a slam contender? 99% no.
He has done major surgery in the hip. Its a condition usually associated with people in their 60s, 70s and older. He will lose a lot of speed and explosiveness compared to his prime.he will be challenging guys like steve Johnson, john isner, and Goffin.....
That's one reason Djokovic is so much less injury-prone than Nadal despite having the same grinding physical game. He doesn't have as much weight to carry around and he's way more flexible. While Nadal is buff enough to be a UFC cage fighter, Djokovic has the perfect body for a tennis player.Borg was physically a brute and never lost a match due to conditioning and had the perfect tennis body.

Or anyone 6'1-6'2 and 170/75 pounds like Pete, Edberg and Fed. Roger has gotten heavier and more muscular in the lower legs in the last 7-8 years, so he's gone up to 180. Djoker is actually very tall historically for an elite player. Off the top of my head, maybe only Safin was taller among all #1's?Djokovic has the perfect body for a tennis player.
Federer has always been in the 187 lb range I thought? I know he was 187 in '09.Or anyone 6'1-6'2 and 170/75 pounds like Pete, Edberg and Fed.

He's coming back alright.
For about 6 months.
After which they will schedule the second hip surgery.

Also I said Djokovic has the perfect body for a tennis player, not the typical body. Pete and Edberg, and Fed (and most everyone else) could only dream of moving like Djokovic does on the court.
