Murray 'needs rest' after French defeat

Andy Murray will prioritise rest and recovery ahead of Wimbledon following a gruelling clay-court season that ended in French Open final defeat.

"I have never had a clay-court season like that one, never won that many matches, I have never been in a final here before," he said after losing to Novak Djokovic in Paris.

"I need to rest and allow my body to recover."

Murray's next tournament is the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club.

The British number one has appeared at the Wimbledon warm-up in London for the past eight years and will be the main draw again when it starts on 13 June.
