Players Under the Microscope / Editor / 07 June 2007 /

Andy Murray is a major doubt for Wimbledon after the British number one was forced to pull out of next week's Artois Championships.

The Scot suffered a wrist injury last month at the Hamburg Masters, a problem that led to him withdrawing from the French Open.

The 20-year-old has since been targeting a return ahead of SW19, but it now appears a real concern that Murray won't make it in time for the third Grand Slam event of the year.

The British ace remains upbeat though, insisting on his own website: "My wrist is getting better every day, but it's just too soon to play.

"I've been hitting balls softly and doing strengthening exercises for it, also been getting treatment every day and working out in the gym."

Murray is still scheduled to play at the Boodles Challenge event in mid-June, as he looks to play one event before Wimbledon (which starts on June 25) to try and test his fitness.

Markets for the grass court events will appear on Betfair in the near future. Meanwhile, Murray is currently trading at 16 to win a Grand Slam event in 2007.
