Sunday, 19 November 2023
LONDON, Nov 18 (AFP): Former world number one and three-time major winner Andy Murray pulled out of the Davis Cup finals on Saturday, depriving the tournament of a likely heavyweight clash against Novak Djokovic.
"I have picked up a minor shoulder injury which means I won't be able to take part in the Davis Cup," the 36-year-old British star was quoted as saying by the ITF on X, formerly Twitter.
"I'm gutted not to be able to be part of the squad but my focus is now on rehab and getting ready for the new season." Britain will face Djokovic's Serbia in the quarter-finals in Malaga in the November 21-28 final phase of the Davis Cup.
