Andy Murray troubled by apparent hip problem in Stuttgart Open final defeat

Andy Murray’s quest for a first ATP Tour title since 2019 goes on after he was beaten by Matteo Berrettini in the final of the Boss Open in Stuttgart.

More concerning, though, was an apparent left hip problem for which he twice sought treatment in the third set before succumbing to a 6-4 5-7 6-3 defeat against last year’s Wimbledon runner-up.

This has been one of Murray’s best weeks since his hip problems came to the fore in 2017, with the Scot defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios to reach his first grass-court final since he won his second Wimbledon title in 2016.
