Andy Murray on French Open entry list, despite injury

Andy Murray has been listed in the entry for the upcoming French Open, signaling his intent to return to Grand Slam action despite his recent injury setback.

Murray’s appearances at Roland Garros have been limited since undergoing hip resurfacing surgery in 2019, with his last outing resulting in a first-round defeat in 2020. Despite his recent challenges, the Scot remains determined to compete, particularly with aspirations of participating in another Olympic Games before finishing his career.

In addition to Murray, Rafael Nadal, the 14-time French Open champion, is among the players listed in the main draw. Nadal, benefiting from a protected ranking, is poised to make his return to Grand Slam competition following a hiatus since the Australian Open in January 2023. The 37-year-old Spaniard, who recently played his first match since January, has hinted at the possibility that this year may mark his final season before retirement.
