17 years, 8 months. The longest gap between Challenger titles in history! #ATPChallenger | @andy_murray
Former World No.1 Andy Murray will make his comeback next week at the Lexus Surbiton Trophy.
After skipping the French Open to concentrate on his Wimbledon preparations, Murray has opted to enter the ATP Challenger Tour event. The Brit was given a wildcard, and will be competing at the second-tier tournament for the second straight year. He reached the semifinal, before losing to Denis Kudla.
"The LTA's Lexus Surbiton Trophy is a great way for me to start my grass-court season," said the three-time Grand Slam champion. "It's nice to play somewhere that has the feel of a traditional club and I'm hoping to get some good matches and practice in there during the week in front of the British fans."
Murray will be joined by compatriot Dan Evans, who suffered an opening round loss to Thanasi Kokkinakis in Paris this week.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
