Knock-on effect for Wimbledon for Murray if he decides to skip rest of clay-court season explained

Andy Murray is going to have to make some tough calls in recent weeks because skipping over the rest of the clay season could harm his chance of being a seed at Wimbledon.

Being a seed at Wimbledon has a lot of benefits with an easier draw the main one. Murray is hoping for a good showing at the event and being a seed would help him tremendously. However, he might not have enough points to be a seed unless he plays the clay season because he will only have two weeks before Wimbledon to gather points on grass but that won't be enough.

It's a big dilemma for Murray whose return to clay was terrible losing to de Minaur 6-1 6-3. Speaking after the match he explained that he might skip over the rest of the clay season after this demoralising loss but doing so might be a problem with the Wimbledon dilemma. Even the challengers at this time play on clay so it's not much different for him.
