ANDY Murray insists he is encouraged by his recovery from career-saving hip surgery as the former world No 1 prepares to play next month’s Shanghai Masters.
Murray is aiming to rebuild his singles ranking following the operation in January.
The 32-year-old Scot made a tentative return to singles action in Cincinnati last month.
He was last seen on court at a Challenger event in Majorca – his first time playing at that lower level for 14 years – and his next tournament will be the Zhuhai Championships later in September. – AFP
