Andy Murray
PARIS – Andy Murray slightly hurt his back in a car crash while heading to his hotel during the Paris Masters.
Murray was with coach Brad Gilbert on Monday in heavy traffic when another car crashed into the back of their car. Murray said his back pain was nothing serious.
”It happened last night from the airport to the hotel. There was a driver me and Brad,” Murray said Tuesday after losing a doubles match with his brother Jamie Murray. ”There was a lot of traffic, the driver just broke and somebody driving at about 20 kilometres per hour bumped into the back of the car.”
Murray, who won his third career title in St. Petersburg, Russia, on Sunday, said he felt shaken by the incident.
”I’ve never been in car crash before,” he said. ”There was a pretty loud bang. My back’s a bit stiff, but it’s nothing serious.”
Murray, who plays Jarkko Nieminen on Wednesday in the second round, is still in contention for a place at the season-ending Masters Cup in Shanghai, which begins Nov. 11.
Murray could face third-ranked Novak Djokovic in the third round. The Serb has already qualified for the Masters Cup.
