Murray has not played since suffering tendon damage in the Hamburg Masters last month, but the British number one has been practising at Wimbledon this week and is reportedly hitting his serve and backhand flat out.

His forehand remains an area of concern however, and the 20-year-old has been urged not to risk doing any further damage if he is not 100% fit.

A place has been left open for the Scot in this week's Boodles Challenge exhibition tournament at Stoke Park, and it appears he will leave it as late as possible before making a decision about Wimbledon.

Murray was unseeded last year when he reached the fourth round, beating Nicolas Massu, Julien Benneteau and former finalist Andy Roddick before losing to Marcos Baghdatis in straight sets.

He has since risen to his highest world ranking of eighth, despite his injury lay-off, a position reflected in the seedings which are based on the world rankings and slightly adjusted to take into account grass-court results over the last two years.

Defending champion and world number one Roger Federer, seeking his fifth straight Wimbledon title, is the top seed, ahead of last year's beaten finalist and French Open champion Rafael Nadal.

Andy Roddick, who won his fourth Artois Championships title at Queen's on Sunday, is seeded three with Serbian Novak Djokovic fourth.
