Andy Murray is doing "everything he can" to return in time for Wimbledon, says mother Judy.
The former world number one, a two-time champion at at the All England Club, has not played competitively since last year's championships.
The 30-year-old Scot underwent hip surgery in January.
"His goal was always to be ready for the grass court season and, fingers crossed, that will happen," Judy Murray told the Victoria Derbyshire show.
Doubts had emerged this week about Murray's return, with news that he is unlikely to feature in a tournament at Loughborough this month.
