The Scot has recovered from an ankle injury in time to take his place in the Roland Garros draw at the start of a very important summer. Here, we look at some key questions around what comes next.
HOW IS MURRAY LOOKING?
THE good news is that his ankle is in good enough shape to allow him to play but he has won only one match on clay via a withdrawal at a second-tier event so expectations of success in Paris should be low.
WHY IS HE PLAYING?
MURRAY'S hip problems first surfaced at Roland Garros in 2017 and he has played at the French Open only once since, suffering a chastening loss to Stan Wawrinka in the first round four years ago.
