Andy Murray decides to participate in the Nottingham Open Challenger
While it was initially speculated that the Brit will play singles at Rome, Murray later informed his intention to not push his body too much as he wasn’t fully fit to play on the red turf.

Now, Murray’s focus is entirely on the grass-court season. He has already signed up to play the Queen’s Club Championships. With the addition of the Nottingham Challenger, the calendar seems perfect for the Brit to make a solid comeback at the Wimbledon Championships.

Coming back to the Nottingham Challenger, Liam Broady also signed for the tournament alongside Andy Murray. The duo might play doubles in this event as well. It looks as if the Brit has a well-structured plan laid for success at Wimbledon this year.
