The 20-year-old was forced to miss the French Open after suffering a wrist injury, and Lloyd believes the timescale for recovery should mean the Scot misses out on Wimbledon as well.

He told the Mail On Sunday: "We all want to see Andy playing at Wimbledon but I'd hope he wouldn't jeopardise his long-term career to answer an obvious desire to get out there and play now."

He added: "If Andy has injured tendons, or ligaments, it usually takes a minimum of two months to recover.

"I'm sure those closest to him will ensure all the proper precautions are taken."

Murray's coach Brad Gilbert is taking a longer-term view for the player's season and believes he will be more than capable of regaining a place in the world's top 10 with some solid performances on the US hardcourt circuit which follows Wimbledon.

He said: "Our goal from the start of 2007 has been for Andy to make the season-end Masters in Shanghai for the world's top eight. That is a good working goal and Andy has time on his side."
