Andy Murray will not play at the French Open and will instead focus on preparing for Wimbledon in the summer.
It is the second year running the 34-year-old Briton will miss Roland Garros which runs from 22 May until 5 June.
Murray will also sit out the entire clay-court season which starts at the Monte Carlo Masters on 9 April.
"I am not planning on playing through the clay, the past couple of years, the clay has made issues worse, I don't want to take that risk," he said.
Former world number one Murray - currently ranked 102 in the world - has been attempting to return to his former levels after major surgery in 2019 on a career-threatening hip problem.
