Andy Murray withdraws from Roland-Garros

Andy Murray has withdrawn from Roland-Garros, said the organization of the French stage of the Grand Slam.


Champion of three major tournaments, the 36-year-old Briton lost in the final in 2016, against Novak Djokovic.

Murray made it to the semi-finals four more times on clay in Paris.

This year’s edition will start on May 28.

He will also miss Rafael Nadal, who triumphed 14 times in Paris.

The 36-year-old Spaniard is bored in the hip.

The BBC has previously argued that Murray wants to prioritize Wimbledon, where he was the big winner in 2013 and 2016.

Murray lost in the first round at the Italian Open on May 11, against Fabio Fognini.

Last Wednesday, Stan Wawrinka beat Murray 6-3, 6-0 at Bordeaux.

Murray had hip surgery in 2018 and 2019.

Wimbledon kicks off on July 3.
