Melbourne, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 16th Jan, 2019 ) :American doubles legend Bob Bryan gave Andy Murray a ray of hope on Wednesday, saying he believes the former world number one could make a comeback after major hip surgery.

"I personally think he can do it," said Bryan, who was talking after enjoying a winning comeback in his first Grand Slam doubles since undergoing his own hip replacement surgery last summer.

Murray bowed out of the Australian Open on Monday for potentially the last time after saying his hip pain was too much too bear.

"I just represent an option for him," he said. "That guy does everything you can possibly do as far as training and rehab.
