After his decision to withdraw from the French Open and prepare for Wimbledon, Andy Murray is determined to repeat history on the English grass. He won the Surbiton trophy and was victorious in the Nottingham Open. Later, he suffered a couple of setbacks in the succeeding tournaments. He faced an early exit in the Queen?s Championship and lost in the Giorgio Armani Classic.
As he enters the tournament with the 39th rank, Murray believes he can still beat top players. Recently he revealed that he is feeling good, physically. Though the British star has not gone beyond the third round in the grand slam since 2017, he commented that he has an advantage even over Novak Djokovic to have decent results in Wimbledon.
