Also, the reason for Murray to skip the French Open was to give his body enough time to bounce back at Wimbledon. But, the road to peak form didn’t appear easy for the Brit as he pulled out of the Nottingham Challenger event days before it started.

Ahead of Wimbledon, Murray usually plays at the Queen’s Club Championships. If reports are to be believed, the Brit’s participation in the event appears to be unlikely owing to his injury struggles.
