Les Britanniques sans Murray

Andy Murray a pris une déci­sion diffi­cile puisqu’il a renoncé à disputer le match de barrage face à l’Ouzbékistan (14 au 16 septembre). Une rencontre qui doit avoir lieu chez lui, en Écosse à Glasgow. Dans un message posté sur Instagram, l’ex-numéro 1 mondial explique qu’on lui a « recom­mandé de prendre deux semaines de repos pour pour­suivre son réta­blis­se­ment ».

I just wanted to write a quick message to apolo­gise to the British davis cup team and all the fans who are coming to watch in Glasgow and support on tv. I have genui­nely loved compe­ting in this Davis cup format over the course of my career and have had some of the most memo­rable and special moments (the lob) of my career compe­ting for my country. With this possibly being my last chance to compete in Scotland as a profes­sional I really wanted to be there with team and found this deci­sion emotio­nally quite chal­len­ging. I had spoken to our captain, Leon, about possibly coming to just play doubles but having been recom­mended to take a couple of weeks off hitting to continue my recon­di­tio­ning I didn’t want to just show up not ready to perform to a high enough stan­dard and ulti­ma­tely let my teammates/country down. If I don’t get the chance to compete in Scotland again I just want to say thank you so much to all the fans who have come along to watch and support the team over the years. You have created some incre­dible atmos­pheres for me and the team to play in and I will always remember that. Having been born in Glasgow and growing up in Scotland I would never have imagined I would see such passio­nate fans packing out stadiums for tennis matches. Playing with my Big Bro in those stadiums has been very very special. Thank you so much again.. I’ll miss you ???????? ???? by yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes???? #tennis
