Andy Murray has confirmed he will miss two clay-court ATP tournaments in April as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury sustained at the Miami Open.
A spokesperson said Murray would now miss the Monte-Carlo Masters and Bavarian International next month.
“At this stage, it is still not clear how long Andy will be out of action, and he is continuing to review options with his medical team,” the statement read.
“Obviously this is very disappointing news for Andy and he has reiterated his desire to get back on court as soon as possible.”

The three-time Grand Slam champion underwent career-saving hip resurfacing surgery in 2019, and he has struggled to perform at his best since.
He impressed at the Miami Open, however, and rose to world No. 59 after reaching the round of 32.
“Goes without saying this is a tough one to take and I’ll be out for an extended period,” Murray posted on social media after suffering his injury against Machac.
“But I’ll be back with one hip and no ankle ligaments when the time is right.”
