Tearful Murray: Australian Open could be his last tournament

January 11, 2019 4:00 pm

A tearful Andy Murray says the Australian Open could be his last tournament because of a hip injury that has hampered him for almost two years.

The three-time Grand Slam champion says he plans to start his opening match against No. 22-ranked Roberto Bautista at the Australian Open, where he has reached the final five times but never won the title.

Murray had right hip surgery in January 2018 and, after two brief attempts to return to the tour, played only 12 matches in the year.
