Andy Murray begins his grass-court campaign: Set to play Stuttgart open – live on sky sports

Murray, who is still expected to retire this year, has never won the French Open due chiefly to the dominance of Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

But on his least favourite surface, and one that he has struggled on physically, the 37-year-old still reached the final in 2016 where he was runner-up to Djokovic.

Andy Murray has confirmed he is set to play at the Stuttgart Open as he begins his grass-court campaign following an early exit at the French Open.

Murray, who is expected to retire at some point this season, had been out injured since late March after damaging ankle ligaments in a third-round match against Tomas Machac at the Miami Open.

After the match Murray said he would be sidelined for “an extended period” after confirming he suffered a full rupture of his ATFL [anterior talofibular ligament] and near full thickness rupture of his CFL [calcaneofibular ligament].
