Andy Murray looks set to skip Roland Garros - and the entire clay court season - in bid to stave off injury

Andy Murray has revealed his decision to miss the next Grand Slam of the year at Roland Garros - and the whole clay court season - as he bids to protect his body for Wimbledon and the grass court swing. The 34-year-old is also still looking for a new long-term coach but shared, candidly, that he is "not as in-demand" as he used to be.

Guessing he will make an official retirement at WC?

Would be weird if Fed does too.

I think the rest of the tour should follow his lead @vive le beau jeu !

 

[DSH]

By now, Murray should be starring in the new version of Robocop!

A handful of wildcards are safe and can sleep easy tonight.

He didn’t play last Clay court season either so won’t lose points. But he won’t gain points either, which means his ranking will stay pretty much stagnant and so likely to face higher ranked players in first week at Wimbledon.

Part timer or maybe his retirement is closer than we presume.

 

[Nadal_King]

He is sadly not a factor on tour

Bids to protect himself so he can secure the second round at Wimbledon.

Another slam opportunity lost due to injuries. Stay humble, Murphy.

He was never going to win RG. Even if fully healthy.

It might have been a potshot aimed at a certain player.

That's a bit harsh. I think he can make the third round.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

This guy hasn't yet realized that he'd been retired since 2017.

 

[Bud]

Clay is easier on the hips vs hard court

 

[Daniel Andrade]

I don't get why he still needs wildcards, didn't he beat some top tens last year?

My dumb brain processed the title like "What did Murray say to Miss Clay Season?"... come to think of it, could be a new made-up category in beauty pageants.

Rafa won two titles in Australia recently, before that Murray defeated him in straight sets. Why would he skip the clay season?

 

[BGod]

Fed should have done this starting in 2015 (so basically skipping his last 3).

Murray nay well retire at Wimbledon this year or he takes it into next year.

I was thinking the same thing about Murray.

As for Fed, I doubt he will retire at Wimbledon this year. He is still recooperating. Maybe next year, or maybe at one of those Swiss events.

I was thinking at first that this image was some sort of radical Olympic ice skating outfit. Tis the season.

 

[Bertie B]

Was Murray the player who said Djokovic was the GOAT, and Rafa was out of the conversation because he's old and tired.

What's that?
