Andy Murray has announced he will not be part of the Great Britain squad at the forthcoming Davis Cup finals.
The Lawn Tennis Association shared a quote on social media from the 36-year-old, which read: “I’ve picked up a minor shoulder injury which means I won’t be able to take part in the Davis Cup. I’m gutted not to be part of the squad but my focus is now on rehab and getting ready for the new season.”
He will be replaced by Liam Broady.
Murray has had a disappointing second half of 2023, culminating in the end of Ivan Lendl’s tenure as his coach again.
Now ranked world No 42, the former world No 1 has spoken recently about his lack of enjoyment on the tennis court, and his frustration during matches.
It was visible recently during his defeat to Alex de Minaur at Paris-Bercy, where he failed twice over to serve out the match, and smashed his racquet five times.
The Davis Cup finals run from 21 to 26 November in Malaga.
