MELBOURNE : Tears, pain and a defiant five-set loss marked Andy Murray's last appearance at the Australian Open but the Scot will stroll Melbourne Park's grounds with a positive outlook for the first time in three years.
Since major surgery on his troublesome hip in 2019, little has come easy to the 34-year-old who won the last of his three Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon in 2016. At his pre-match media conference, he had sobbed uncontrollably, revealing his hip pain was so bad that he thought his career might be over.
