andy murray It is between the eyebrows and eyebrows that are seeded in the next contest of Wimbledon and closer and closer. The Scotsman picked up his second ATP Challenger in a row this Sunday, in Nottingham, by defeating the Frenchman. Arthur Cazaux (6-4 and 6-4), and Queen’s is two wins away from being the top seed at Wimbledon.
The two-time champion in all england club (2013 and 2016) won last week at Surbiton, where he added 125 ranking points, and took the Nottingham title this Sunday, accumulating another 125 ranking points.
This puts him, at 36, in 38th place in the rankings, less than 100 units away from reaching the top 32, which would give him the privilege of being seeded at Wimbledon and avoid best of the first rounds. Although this Grand Slam makes its own ranking and gives more points added to grass tournaments in the last three seasons, favoring the interests of the Scotsman.
The Briton, who has a metal hip prosthesis, has won ten consecutive victories on English grass and from Monday he will compete at Queen’s, where he is the greatest winner in history with five titles, the last in 2016.
His debut was against the Australian Alex de Minaur and, in principle and waiting for possible defeats, he will need to win two games, that is, to enter the quarterfinals, to ensure his presence in the top 32 at Wimbledon without any further problems.
Since getting a metal hip implant in 2019, Murray has reached the quarterfinals of ATP tournaments nine times, but has lost them only four times and none of them at the 500 level, as was the case at Queen’s. .
In fact, in this London club, where he won for the first time in 2009, he won only one match since 2016, against Benoir Paire in 2021. He did win the doubles title in 2019 with the Spaniard. Feliciano Lopez.
