Andy Murray kept his Wimbledon preparation on track as he beat French youngster Arthur Cazaux 6-4, 6-4 to win the Nottingham Open, an ATP Challenger Tour event, on Sunday.
Former World No. 1 Murray clinched his second title on the Challenger circuit in two weeks after the triumph in Surbiton last Sunday. Overall, the Brit got his fifth title at the level which is just below the ATP Tour.
The 36-year-old three-time Grand Slam champion, who has resurrected his career after hip resurfacing surgery, opted to skip tournaments during the claycourt season in the past to focus on the grasscourt swing.
In the Live ATP Rankings, Murray has jumped six places to 38th and is very close to being seeded at a Major for the first time in six years when Wimbledon begins on July 3. The last time he was seeded at a Grand Slam was at the 2017 Wimbledon when he was World No. 1
Murray next places at the Queen’s Club Championships which begin on Monday and he is set to face seventh-seeded Australian Alex de Minaur in the opening round.
