ANDY MURRAY is already working hard back in the gym after missing this month’s Australian Open following hip surgery.
The British No1’s career had looked to be in jeopardy after yet another injury setback, but the determined star is already making progress.
Two-time Wimbledon champion Murray, 30, appeared in optimistic mood as he claims he’ll be back playing at “the highest level again”.
In a video posted on Instagram, Murray showed off his session in the gym, working on his cardio as well as spending some time on the weights.
The rapid progress should come as no surprise to his fans, with the determined star recently roaring: “I’m not finished”.
Murray said: “I’m not finished playing tennis yet. I’m going to be competing at the highest level again.
“I’m very optimistic about the future – the surgeon is very happy about how it went.”
British star Murray had earlier reassured fans regarding his surgery, with a post on Facebook.

“I look forward to returning to competitive tennis during the grass court season.
“Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes and support over the last few days. I’ll come back from this.”
Murray added he is hoping to get back to 100 per cent for his daughter.
He claimed: “One of the things that I would like to do is play until my eldest daughter is able to watch me and have a small understanding of what it is I’ve done for my living.
“That’s something I really wanted to do. That’s one of the things that motivated me to keep playing.”
