Is Andy Murray playing at Wimbledon this year? Two-time champion fails to secure seeding for grass court Grand Slam

Andy Murray is arguably Britain's greatest ever tennis player and his crowning moments have come twice at Wimbledon.

He won the Grand Slam in 2013 and 2016 but since then, things haven't gone to plan for Murray and as he approaches the end of his career, he probably only has a few more years left.

The 36-year-old missed this season's French Open and injuries have ravaged the last few years but the grass courts of south London await.

Is Andy Murray playing at Wimbledon this year?

Murray is a Wimbledon favourite, and despite taking no part in the French Open, he is expected to be involved at SW19.

The Glasgow-born tennis genius was set to be involved in Paris but decided to withdraw to focus on his grass-court form.

The Brit has struggled on clay recently and made a brave decision to sacrifice the chance of another major and focus on Wimbledon.

Britain's most iconic tennis event is scheduled to get underway next month and there are plenty of warm-up tournaments in the build-up.

One such competition was the Surbiton Trophy, which Murray won earlier this month.

It proved to be a great warm-up as Murray came through the week-long event to win and pick up his first trophy on home soil since his last Wimbledon singles title in 2016.

The Brit then claimed back-to-back ATP Challenger titles in Nottingham as he continues to prepare his body for a long run at Wimbledon.

But his 10-match winning streak courts was ended at Queens by Australia's Alex de Minaur to all-but end his hopes of a Wimbledon seeding.

Murray lost 6-3 6-1 at the place where he is a record five-time singles champion to bring his hot streak to an emphatic end.

Murray was aiming to reach at least the quarter-finals to boost his chances of being ranked among the top 32 players needed to be seeded at Wimbledon.

But now unless at least five rivals above him withdraw from SW19 the Scot faces the daunting task of facing higher-ranked players early on.

On whether being seeded for Wimbledon was on his mind, Murray said: "I have been thinking about for the last few weeks.

"It was not any different today, I knew what the situation was going into the grass season.

"I dealt with it fine the last two weeks. I don't think it had any bearing on how I played today."

So things look good for thousands of expectant fans wanting to see Murray at Wimbledon this year.

Hopefully, he gets through these warm-up tournaments and rolls back the years on the iconic grass courts.
