Emma Raducanu reacted to Andy Murray's injury update, which the Brit sustained during his third-round encounter against Tomas Machac.
The match versus Machac was tied at 5-5 in the third set when Murray twisted his left ankle. The Brit continued to show exemplary effort as he strived to keep the match alive. However, the three-time Grand Slam champion faltered in the tiebreak as he lost the match 7-5, 5-7, 6-7(5).
Murray later revealed on his Instagram that he had a rupture of his anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and a near-thickness rupture of his calcaneofibular ligament (CFL). The former World No. 1 mentioned that he is determined to come back stronger despite this injury setback.
"Yesterday towards the end of my match in Miami I suffered a full rupture of my ATFL and near full thickness rupture of my CFL. I will see an ankle specialist when I return home to determine next steps. Goes without saying this is a tough one to take and I’ll be out for an extended period. But I’ll be back with 1 hip and no ankle ligaments when the time is right," Andy Murray wrote in an Instagram post.
