Andy Murray to play Queen's Club as former number 1 'can't wait' for grass return

Former world number one Andy Murray will return to Queen's Club in the summer as he bids to win the tournament for a sixth time.

The Scot has battled back from a serious hip injury and is set to compete at Wimbledon for the first time since 2017.

Murray has twice been champion at SW19 and has also lifted the US Open title to establish himself as one of Scotland's greatest ever sportsmen.

The Dunblane raised star currently training in Rome but won't compete in the Italian Open after a groin injury suffered in Miami in March.

But the world number 123 is hoping to be fighting fit for the grass court season after announcing he'll play at Queen's Club.

The 33-year-old won the men's doubles alongside Feliciano Lopez in 2019.

Murray said: "It’s been such a difficult time for everyone and it will be great to play in front of home fans in Britain again.

"The tournament at Queen’s has always meant a lot to me – it’s where I won my first ATP match, I’ve won the singles at Queen’s more than any other in my career, and I’ll never forget our doubles title in 2019.

"I can’t wait to get back out there.”

Murray has been champion at the event a record five times and will hope to make it a sixth ahead of Wimbledon.
