5 Predictions for the 2020 ATP season

3. Andy Murray will be back to the big leagues

Andy Murray looks for a successful return to Grand Slam singles tennis in 2020

2019 has been a weird year for Andy Murray and his fans. It started with an early loss at the Australian Open and an announcement of a possible retirement. The Scot was in a lot of pain back then, and he wasn't sure if he would return to tennis.

However, after undergoing Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) in January, he confirmed that he was pain-free. Murray made a successful return, winning the doubles title at the Queen's Club and reaching the third round of the Wimbledon's mixed doubles with Serena Williams.

Despite struggling in singles matches initially, he soon started to improve his performances there too. He registered a win against Matteo Berretini, then ranked 13th in the world, and won his first tournament since returning at the European Open in October.

Murray is looking to return to playing singles at the Grand Slams in 2020. And while expecting him to win Slams might be too much, we can at least expect him to have a strong season and get back to the level he used to perform at.

Winning a Masters 1000 or reaching Grand Slam semifinals wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for Sir Murray.
