Andy Murray will play his first match since late 2019 later today when he takes part in the Battle of the Brits so the question will get asked with the busy schedule what his priority is.

Murray said on Monday that preparation for the US Open and French Open is among his priorities at the moment and that if it is safe, that is all he cares about.

“Playing the Grand Slams would be my priority,” Murray said to the British media on Monday. “I think the schedule is tricky and I understand the reason why it is like that.

“I don’t mind what the situation is, providing it is safe. If I was told I could take one person with me... you can make that work. I’d probably go with a physio and some coaching could be done remotely.”

“My hip has been feeling better for probably the past three or four weeks. It feels better than it did in March,” he added.

“Right now, I feel a little bit more confident because I’ve had more training under my belt, more practice. In March time, I’d only been practising for four or five weeks since I’d had the issues.”
