Andy Murray has pulled out of this month’s French Open to prioritise Wimbledon after recently returning from injury. Murray returned to the ATP Tour at the recent Madrid Open, after being absent since the Miami Open at the end of March.
Murray had previously revealed that he would skip the whole of the clay season, but had a change in heart when entering this month’s tournament in the Spanish capital. The Brit put in a string of strong performances to defeat both Dominic Thiem and Denis Shapovalov.
His opening two victories set up a mouthwatering tie against World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the round of 16, with two of the sport’s biggest names set to meet for the first time in 2017.
