Andy Murray pulls out of doubles with Cam Norrie at Queen’s as Wimbledon intentions clear
Andy Murray has pulled out of the doubles draw at Queen’s after losing his opening match in the singles. The Brit was set to partner up with Cameron Norrie but withdrew citing fatigue. The world No 38 made it clear that he wanted some rest ahead of Wimbledon after winning back-to-back Challenger titles.
Murray has made it clear that he wants to have a deep run at Wimbledon this year, and the 36-year-old showed he was serious about preparing in the right way as he pulled out of the Queen’s doubles draw.
Alongside Norrie, the pair were set to face third seeds Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury last on Court 1 on Wednesday. But hours before the match, Murray withdrew and the pair were replaced by lucky losers Andre Goransson and Ben McLachlan.
It comes after the two-time Wimbledon champion ruled out playing any tournaments next week so he could rest properly ahead of The Championships. Murray won 10 matches in a row over the last two weeks before crashing out of Queen’s 6-3 6-1 to Alex de Minaur.
