Jamie Murray Has A Pelvic Spur?

The news isn’t so good for Jamie Murray whose doubles ranking had just re-entered the top 30 after slipping down for several years. The elder brother of Wimbledon champion Andy, has not played since the Australian Open and will be sidelined for at least another month after discovering a chipped bone in his pelvis.

The injury is believed to have been caused by a bone spur, his medical prognosis suggests it can be resolved through just rest with surgery unnecessary but the 28 year-old Scot has been rendered almost immobile for the last fortnight in a bid to stabilize the condition.

Murray’s partnership with Australian John Peers has been put on hold and it would be an optimistic aim to at next month’s first Masters 1000 level event of the season at Indian Wells, or later on in March at the Sony Miami Open.

Editors Note: we wish Jamie the older brother of Andy a speedy recovery. He is really a fun player to watch. We loved the “stretch ” and “booty ” team. They were fun to watch scrambling around the court. Jamie known as “stretch ” seemed to be able to reach everything.
