Andy Murray given fitness warning ahead of Wimbledon

Alex Corretja believes Andy Murray cannot afford to skip the clay season if he hopes to do himself justice at Wimbledon. Murray is still recovering from a groin injury; he opted to sit out the Australian Open. “I really don’t know exactly how he feels now but clay, he should use it to get enough matches to be ready for grass,” Corretja said. “Because if he skips the clay-court season, there is going to be such a long gap before the grass. And the grass is only three weeks, so it is difficult to get the feeling of so many matches. “He needs to go thinking that those matches are the best preparation I could have to be ready for Wimbledon, and that’s the only thing he needs to know. The more matches he gets, the better, but he doesn’t need to get overcooked. “He’s got the experience and his body is suffering. If he will be playing so many matches, it won’t change anything, because for him to reach the semi-finals in Madrid or in another tournament, it’s not going to make any difference. But, if something’s going to make a difference for him, it’s to have a good tournament at Wimbledon. And that means to be healthy.” Source-Tennis Head
