Andy Murray hopes to play singles this year but sets no timescale for return
• Murray returns to doubles action next week after hip surgery
• ‘It’s baby steps just now, but I hope to play singles this year’
Andy Murray hopes to be back on the singles court later this year, but the former world No 1 is setting no time limits. Murray will step up his bid to return from the hip surgery he underwent in January when he competes in the doubles with Feliciano López at the Fever-Tree Championships at Queen’s Club next week.
The 32-year-old then plans to play doubles at Wimbledon, the scene of two of his three singles grand slam titles. However, Murray still plans to take his time before returning to singles action, which probably rules out competing at the US Open at the end of August.
