Murray Set For Return Ahead Of French Open, Olympics

By Victor Kanayo 

Andy Murray is set to return from injury at the Geneva Open later in May.

His return will equally precede the French Open where he is expected for the final time.

Murray, 36, has not played since suffering an ankle injury against Tomas Machac at the Miami Open in late March.

However, the three-time Grand Slam champion has been given a wildcard for the clay-court tournament in Switzerland, which begins on May 18, 2024.

Murray opted not to have surgery on the injury to reduce recovery time with hopes of playing at both the French Open and Wimbledon, as well as the Olympics in Paris this summer.

Already, the British tennis czar has entered the grass-court Stuttgart Open, which begins on June 10.

The tournament in Stuttgart will mark the start of Murray’s grass swing, which could also see him play Queen’s and Wimbledon.

Murray looks set to be entering the final few months of his career after saying he likely won’t play beyond the summer.

The French Open starts on May 26 and Wimbledon, where Murray is a two-time champion, begins on July 1, while the Olympics take place from July 26, 2024.

The US Open is the final Grand Slam tournament of the season and starts on 26 August in New York.
