Murray came back to practice on the court
Murray returned to hitting the ball on the court last April 19, after suffering a serious ankle injury in the final part of the match (then lost in the tie-break of the deciding set) against Tomas Machac at the ATP Masters 1000 in Miami.

On that occasion, the Scot suffered a total rupture of the talofibular ligament and a lesion of the calcaneofibular ligament. A new injury that has complicated plans for what should be his last tournaments on the circuit.
