Andy Murray: Briton practises at The Queen's Club but waits on his fitness decision

  • Posted: Jun 15, 2018

Andy Murray will decide on Saturday morning whether he is fit enough to return to the ATP Tour at Queen’s Club next week.

The former world number one, 31, played some practice sets with fellow Briton Cameron Norrie on Friday and was due to decide afterwards whether to play.

But he has put back that decision, before the draw taking place at midday.

The Scot, who has not played since Wimbledon last year, had a hip operation in January.

Queen’s, which starts on Monday, is set to have the strongest line-up in its 128-year history with 16 of the world’s top 30 taking part.

Murray, who was forced to pull out of this week’s Libema Open in the Netherlands, still hopes to play at Wimbledon, which starts on 2 July.

But last week, his mother Judy told BBC Sport that Murray would not risk playing at Wimbledon unless he was fully fit.

“The most important thing is he gets fit again for the long term and any top athlete would tell you they would not come back until they felt they could give 100%, especially in a major like Wimbledon,” she said.
