Andy Murray is staying in tip-top shape at the age of 34 with help from an unlikely source – former Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro. 

The former world No 1 fell to 839th in the rankings after hip surgery in 2018, and has suffered a long and difficult road back from injury, with two more operations resulting in him having a metal hip.

And according to the Telegraph, Sir Andy is collaborating with Dr Carneiro on a collagen-based health supplement, which has improved his athletic performance significantly.

Murray, Carneiro and nutritionist Glenn Kearney began collaborating to produce TRR, a supplement one can buy including marine collagen, turmeric and copper, a step in the Scot looking to bring back the strength and explosiveness of his peak.

Although its effect is not yet completely clear, Australian Open data shows Murray serving nearly 10kph quicker than when he was No 1 in early 2017.

Moreover, his 90th percentile movement speed – a metric used to judge mobility – was up from 11.7kph in 2017 so 13.6kph in 2022, suggesting the supplement has had a significant positive effect.

Speaking about Murray, Dr Carneiro told the Telegraph on Wednesday: ‘(He is) fantastically knowledgeable – the kind of athlete who is always looking to examine the science and trying to work out how it can help him.
