• Scot gambled on minor hip operation to save his career • Murray: ‘It’s the perfect way for me to prepare for Wimbledon’Andy Murray will return to action on 11 June at a low-level grass tournament in the Netherlands, the newly labelled Libema Open, it was revealed on Thursday. Four days after the operation, Murray was walking freely in the streets of Melbourne when he bumped into members of the British media. The Libema Open [formerly the Ricoh Open] tournament director, Marcel Hunze, said: “In the past years we invested heavily in the quality of the tournament and the grass courts. The participation of the former Wimbledon champion and grasscourt specialist, Andy Murray, is a great reward.”It is also serendipity. If he comes through two weeks of competitive tests on grass, Murray will want to launch himself wholeheartedly at the title that matters to him most.
