Andy Murray withdraws from French Open to prioritise Wimbledon

Britain's Andy Murray has withdrawn from the French Open to prioritise the grass-court season in the build-up to Wimbledon.

Murray, a three-time Grand Slam champion, won the clay-court Challenger event in France in May but has struggled for consistency on the surface.

The French Open takes place at Roland Garros from 28 May-11 June.

Murray lost to long-time rival Stan Wawrinka in Bordeaux earlier this week and also had early exits at the ATP Tour events in Rome, Madrid and Monte Carlo.
