- Murray declined a wildcard for Geneva ATP 250 tournament
- Decision leaves timetable of Murray’s return in doubt.
Andy Murray’s prospects for the clay season have hit a fresh wave of uncertainty after he turned down a wildcard into the Geneva ATP 250 tournament next week, where he had been hoping to make his singles return after a two-month layoff following his withdrawal from the Miami Open in March.
Murray, who turns 34 years old today, made an encouraging return to action this week as he paired up with Liam Broady in doubles at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Rome, winning a match together before losing in the second round. Murray had travelled to Rome in order to train with top players yet he took advantage of the unexpected match practice and looked in good shape on the court.
