"I was in constant pain even when I went to walk the dogs so I think, initially, it's difficult to deal with but then over time the consistency of the pain and it just being every single day sort of wore me down," Andy Murray said. "I filmed a documentary during my rehab and the injuries and surgeries and stuff and when I watch that back I kind of realize, which I didn't whilst I was going through it, like I was in a pretty bad place. So, I probably didn't deal with it particularly well you know in the end but it had been going on for a long time and it was stopping me from doing what I love as well," he added.

I dealt with discomfort in my hip for probably six or seven years Andy Murray

Andy Murray in pain during Wimbledon 2016 Asserting that athletes do have a higher level of pain tolerance that comes with training and playing matches, the former World No. 1 reflected on his hip discomfort that has persisted for many years. "Well, I think as athletes you're used to sort of always having a certain level of pain from the training and the matches that you do, and thats kind of normal. So, most athletes have a relatively high level of pain tolerance, but then with my hip, I dealt with discomfort in my hip for probably six or seven years," Murray said. Murray first won Wimbledon in 2013 after missing the French Open earlier that year owing to a hip injury. ??? ???? ?? ???? (????)

The Briton, who became World No. 1 in 2016, began struggling with injuries a year later and stated on the show that he couldn't extend his hip and was therefore not in a position to walk properly when the pain was at its worst. "It basically from one day to the next went from, you know, I was ranked No. 1 in the world at the time, to I literally can't walk properly anymore and I couldnt extend my hip," Murray said. The Glasgow-born player reached the finals of the Boss Open in Stuttgart earlier this month where he lost to 2021 Wimbledon runner-up Matteo Berrettini. Poll : Who will win the 2022 ATP finals?
