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.

Roger Federer is one match away from regaining the world number one ranking following his quarter-final victory over Guido Pella at the Mercedes Cup.

The Swiss beat world number 75 Pella 6-4 6-4 in 67 minutes in Stuttgart.

Federer dropped just 12 points on serve and saved both of the break points he faced against the Argentine to claim his 14th consecutive grass-court win.

He will face Nick Kyrgios in Saturday’s semi-finals, after the Australian beat Spain’s Feliciano Lopez 6-4 3-6 6-3.

Federer, a 20-time Grand Slam champion, needs to reach the final to replace Rafael Nadal at the top of the rankings.

Elsewhere, Australia’s Bernard Tomic reached his first ATP semi-final for two years with a win over Spain’s Fernando Verdasco at the Libema Open in s’Hertogenbosch.

Tomic beat the fourth seed 6-4 7-6 (7-3) to set up a meeting with either France’s Richard Gasquet or Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas.

In the men’s doubles, Britain’s Dom Inglot and Croatia’s Franko Skugor reached the final with a 6-4 6-7 (3-7) 10-6 win over Pole Lukasz Kubot and Brazil’s Marcelo Melo.

Britain’s Katie Boulter went out of the Nature Valley Open in Nottingham with a straight-set quarter-final defeat by top seed Ashleigh Barty.

Australian Barty needed just 59 minutes to wrap up a 6-0 6-2 victory.

It was the 21-year-old British number four’s first WTA quarter-final, having beaten 2011 US Open champion Sam Stosur in the previous round.

Barty will play either Japan’s Naomi Osaka or Romania’s Mihaela Buzarnescu in the last four.

Britain’s Dan Evans reached his second successive ATP Challenger semi-final with victory over Canadian qualifier Brayden Schnur at the Nature Valley Open in Nottingham.

Evans – who is continuing his comeback after a year’s ban for taking cocaine – won 7-6 (7-5) 6-3.

It marked the 28-year-old’s 15th victory in 18 matches since returning from his ban in April.

Four of those wins have come against players ranked in the world’s top 200.

Evans – who is ranked 530th in the world – will play either Spain’s Marcel Granollers in the semi-finals.

The former British number two reached the semi-finals of the Surbiton Trophy last week and the last 16 of the Loughborough Trophy at the end of May.

However, compatriot James Ward lost his Nottingham quarter-final against Belarusian fourth seed Ilya Ivashka 6-4 6-3.
