Andy Murray has been soaking up the sun while on his training camp in Mallorca ahead of the Rio Olympics in a fortnight’s time. The Scotsman has had no luck getting a tan, however, and wrote on Instagram: ‘Still can’t catch a good tan even this weather’ underneath a picture of him basking on the island’s clifftops. Murray, who won his second Wimbledon title earlier this month, pulled out of the Rogers Cup in order to dedicate more time to preparing for the Games in Brazil.
While in Mallorca for an expected 10 days, Murray is set to do some training with Rafael Nadal, who is recovering from wrist problems before heading to Rio himself. Explaining his decision to miss the Rogers Cup, Murray said: “My body needs some recovery time after reaching the latter stages of tournaments over the past few months. I’m sorry to my fans in Toronto but I look forward to being back in Canada next year.’ Murray’s decision marks the first time the three-time Grand Slam champion has skipped the Canadian event since his first appearance in 2006.
