On Monday, the ATP officially released the latest edition of the World Rankings. There hasn't been much change in the rankings this week, with the most noteworthy being Britain's Andy Murray. Murray moved up seven places in the new edition of the rankings, from 102nd in the world to 95th in the world.
The ranking of 95th in the world is completely invaluable to Murray at his peak, but it is precious to Murray, who returned after suffering a serious injury. Murray's last ranking in the world's top 100 dates back to June 2018, which is the second time he has returned to the world's top 100 after 3 years and 8 months.
Murray is outside of the Big Three, the greatest tennis player in men's tennis today. In his career, he won 3 Grand Slam titles, 14 Masters titles and 2 Olympic gold medals. He is the only player in the last 18 years other than the Big Three to have ascended to the world number one throne.
Murray's career peaked in 2016, when he reached the tour finals 13 times and won 9 titles and 4 asian championships, including 1 Grand Slam title, 2 Grand Slam runners-up, 3 Masters titles, 1 Olympic gold medal and year-end finals. The outstanding performance allowed Murray to beat Djokovic in 2016 and win the year-end first of that year.
However, it is precisely because of the high intensity of the competition in 2016 that Murray's body was overloaded, and from the 2017 season, injuries became a restriction on Murray's further play. After Wimbledon in July, Murray ended his season early. Since then, Murray has experienced repeated injuries and comebacks, during which time he has been rumored to be in retirement.
In 2019, Murray underwent a hip replacement in order to be able to get rid of injuries. Murray's recovery after the operation is very long, although full of hardships, but Murray still with his love of tennis, step by step to the present. He returned to the Tour final in Sydney earlier this year and reached the second round at the Australian Open, which brought him back into the TOP100 this week. I hope that Sir Andy will continue to work hard in the next step and strive to return to the top.
